Fans bring BJP flags to The Oval at WTC finals; Here's how Twitter users responded
The presence of politics in cricket was once again witnessed in a peculiar incident during the World Test Championship final at The Oval in England. A photograph of a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) flag being displayed by someone of the Indian fans at the venue circulated on social media, sparking a mixed reaction from the public.
The image attracted various opinions and comments from individuals. Some emphasized the importance of freedom of expression and associated the flag with a sense of nationalism. Conversely, others expressed their view that the BJP does not represent the entirety of India.
One Twitter user stated, "This should not be allowed in the stadium," while another commented, "Wherever you go, you find BJP because people love BJP." Another user expressed concerns that if India were to lose the match, the flag's presence could be considered as bringing bad luck, and therefore called for the immediate cleansing of the stadium.
The identities of the fans who brought the flag to the match, however remained unknown.

UP: Over 100 monkeys die of toxic chemical, buried in pit to hide carnage
Hathras (UP), Nov 22: More than 100 monkeys perished after inhaling a pesticide sprayed in a food godown and were stealthily buried in a pit, police on Friday said.
The bodies were taken out for a postmortem by a team of veterinarians on Friday.
Circle Officer Yogendra Krishna Narayan said police came to know about the deaths on Wednesday.
Police have registered a case against the employees of Food Corporation of India and started an investigation.
According to police, the chemical in question was aluminium phosphide sprayed on wheat sacks to protect it from insects and rodents in an FCI warehouse on November 7.
A troop of monkeys entered the warehouse through a broken window of the godown on the night of November 7 and ended up inhaling the gas.
When the workers opened the warehouse on November 9, they saw several monkeys dead.
They allegedly chose not to inform their seniors about deaths and buried the bodies in a pit.
The CO said the bodies were exhumed when some Vishv Hindu Parishad leaders came to know about the incident.
As per police count, more than 100 monkeys were exhumed from the pit.
Their bodies were in late stage decay, the officer said.
