The day following the India vs. Pakistan World Cup match, a social media debate erupted when renowned Pakistani player Maulana Muhammad Rizwan declined to offer Namaz at the Narendra Modi Stadium after hearing “Jai Shree Ram” song at the venue, as per reports.
This decision drew significant criticism from fans who argued that if offering Namaz at the stadium is considered an expression of secularism, then there should be no issue with the “Jai Shree Ram” song being played at the venue. However, some of the fans have expressed disappointment and claimed that Gujarat doesn’t represent whole India.
As the debate escalates #Sorry_Pakistan started trending with 30.1K post while adjacent to this Jai Shree Ram also commenced trending on X.
