New Delhi: Ever since the Pakistan Cricket Team arrived in India earlier last month to take part in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023, it has been subjected to multiple controversies with news anchors and right-wing social media users repeatedly scrutinizing their activities and the local support they have been receiving.

Pakistan arrived in Hyderabad and played their practice games there before beginning their World Cup campaign at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium there.

But apart from the Pakistan players, the fans supporting them have also been subjected to scrutiny on social media by the right-wing users and have been slammed for supporting their arch rivals both on-field and geopolitically.

Fans especially from Hyderabad, have been slammed by these users, giving their support a communal angle and it has been used to spread hate and anger among the people of the country against them. During Pakistan’s match against Sri Lanka in Hyderabad, when the DJ played “Jeetega bhai jeetega” fans erupted with roars of “Pakistan Jeetega” which did not go down well with right-wingers who labelled the support as supporting of terrorists and terror promoters.

Several prominent figures also commented on the issue and went as far as to call for sending these fans to Pakistan and boycotting them. One of the extremist social media users who goes by the name of Bala, who is also followed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and is seen repeatedly spreading hate messages and misleading information, also tweeted on Thursday and wrote “Look at the desperation of Hyderabadi Muslims seeking validation from Pakistani players. He says “Rizwan sir, Rizwan sir, we love Pakistan” The greatest irreversible damage that Gandhi and Nehru did to Bharat was the non-transfer of 100% of the population during Partition.”

Meanwhile the BCCI headed by the Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s son Jay Shah accorded a grand welcome to the Pakistan team when it arrived in Ahmedabad, Gujarat where it is scheduled to play India on Sunday. They were welcomed by dancers dancing on the tunes on Bollywood numbers.

The move received severe backlash and users slammed the right-wingers for the hypocrisy.

Earlier, when Pakistan had arrived at Hyderabad, the locals had gathered at the airport to welcome the team which was also criticized by right-wing news anchors and users for welcoming Pakistan.

The BCCI has also scheduled grand set of programs ahead of the India vs Pakistan match that has also sparked controversy. The BCCI did not accord an opening ceremony to the ICC ODI World Cup and has asserted that several Bollywood stars, will perform and attend the program before India vs Pakistan match. Critics have slammed the BCCI and Jay Shah for glorifying India vs Pakistan match while right-wingers backed by his father and the BJP are playing hypocrisy on social media to slam enthusiastic fans of the sport.

Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka School Education Department has issued a circular strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs in educational and cultural programmes.

It stated that such dances would negatively impact students' mental health and moral values. It will create indiscipline and harm the sanctity of education.

"All the Deputy Directors (Administration) of the state's School Education Department have been asked to take strict measures to prevent children or students from dancing to obscene songs in all government, aided and unaided schools in the state," the office of the commissioner of the School Education Department said in a recent circular.

"If it is found that children are being made to dance to obscene songs, appropriate action will be taken against the headmaster or management of such school," it added.

The department also listed certain measures in this regard, which include: strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes; selecting songs that are inspiring, positive, instilling national pride in children and reflecting the greatness, dignity, values, culture, and morality of the state.

Stating that the school headmaster and management are responsible for selecting songs and dances for cultural programmes, it said, they should also ensure that students wear decent clothes in dance or cultural programmes.
