‘Shameful’ attack on Mohammed Shami after Pakistan beat India, Gambhir, Sehwag completely taken aback

Mohammed Shami attacked Online – Pakistan Beat India: The 31-year-old Shami became the main target after the defeat in Dubai, even though India captain Virat Kohli acknowledged that his side had been “outplayed”.

Hundreds of messages were left on Shami’s Instagram account saying he was a “traitor” and should be thrown out of the Indian team.

Gautam Gambhir, Irfan Pathan, Virender Sehwag all have condemned this attack.

Gautam Gambhir, a former India Test cricketer who has become an MP for the Bharatiya Janata Party, said it was “shameful” that people were celebrating Pakistan’s win.

 

Former India batsman VVS Laxman too came out in support of Shami.

“Mohammed Shami has been a stellar performer for India for eight years, playing a significant role in many a victory. He can’t be defined by one performance. My best wishes are always with him. I urge fans & followers of the game to support,” Laxman tweeted.

In Punjab, students from Kashmir said they were beaten up.

A student at an engineering and technology institute said dozens of men armed with hockey sticks and batons attacked them as they watched the closing stages of the game.

“They entered our room, switched off the lights and beat us. They destroyed our laptops,” the student told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity because of fears of more trouble.

“We are safe now and we have support from our college. But we didn’t expect this at all. We are Indians.”

Mohammed Shami attacked Online: The match also sparked violence in neighbouring Bangladesh. Two Pakistan supporters were beaten by India fans as they celebrated the win in one southern district, media reports said.
