For the first time in T20 World Cup history, the Pakistan cricket team defeated its rival India. Pakistan chased down India's 151 scores with several overs to spare without losing a single wicket in the 20 overs match.
A minister in the Indian state of Haryana, Anil Vij, on Tuesday said that the DNA of former Jammu and Kashmir State Chief Mehbooba Mufti is defective.
"Mehbooba Mufti's DNA is defective, she has to prove how much of an Indian she is", Minister Vij said a day after Mufti questioned the outrage of many people in the country over some Kashmiris celebrating the Pakistan team's victory over India.
पाकिस्तान के क्रिकेट मैच जीतने पर भारत में पटाखे फोड़ने वालों का डीएनए भारतीय नहीं हो सकता । संभल के रहना अपने घर में छुपे हुए गद्दारों से ।

Mufti had taken to Twitter to defend the right of Kashmiri students to celebrate Pakistan's cricket victory.
Why such anger against Kashmiris for celebrating Pak’s win? Some are even chanting murderous slogans- desh ke gadaaron ko goli maaro/calling to shoot traitors. One hasnt forgotten how many celebrated by distributing sweets when J&K was dismembered & stripped of special status pic.twitter.com/dCKQtj5Uu7

On Monday, police in Jammu and Kashmir registered complaints against college students for celebrating Pakistan's cricket victory over India in a T20 World Cup cricket match in Dubai.
Similarly, soon after the match result on Sunday, a scuffle was reported between several Kashmiri students and those from the state of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in Punjab's Sangrur. The incident took place after some pro-Pakistan slogans were chanted after the match, according to law enforcement.
Cricket is one of the most followed and popular sports in both nations. The cricket matches between the two teams often lead to heightened emotions across the countries and their fans.
