Yesterday Pakistan managed to secure a 49-run win at Lord's against South Africa but some Pakistani fans were unhappy with pro-Balochistan posters outside the stadium.
The said posters pasted outside the iconic Lord’s cricket ground and billboards around the city of London read, "Help end enforced disappearances in Pakistan", reports DNA.
A video of the same was shared by ANI:
The angry fans also shouted slogans "Long Live Pakistan Army" while tearing the posters.
These posters were put up by Baloch activists who were protesting against the forced disappearance of thousands of Baloch residents and blamed the Pakistan government for ignoring the needs and aspirations of locals in Balochistan.
Incidentally, Pakistan’s match against South Africa was attended by former’s Army Chief Qamar Javed Bajwa. The Pakistani Army has been accused of having a hand behind these disappearances.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
