00:00This is why I am saying that whatever is shown on social media, it is twisted on its own accord.

00:05India was talking about Kashmir and Murdabad, so obviously that is a natural reaction.

00:21Whatever is shown on social media, there is no truth in it.

00:30This is why I am saying that whatever is shown on social media, it is twisted on its own accord.

00:55There is a trend in Pakistan that if you want to become popular,

00:58you have to say weird things to our Prime Minister.

01:10Whatever is shown on social media, there is no truth in it.

01:13People show whatever they want to show on social media.

01:16The truth is that whatever video has gone viral,

01:18the biggest truth is that if you put anti-India slogans,

01:22and if you say that India is Murdabad,

01:25or if you talk about Kashmir, then the person will react in some way or will leave with a smile.

01:30So this was the only reason that there were 2-3 Pakistani people there,

01:33who were saying anti-India slogans,

01:35India was talking about Murdabad and Kashmir,

01:38so obviously that is a natural reaction.

01:39I cannot hear anything about my country or against my country.

01:42If you abuse or say anything against the country,

01:45if you personally abuse, then what do you expect,

01:47that I will leave with a smile or I will leave without saying anything.

01:50I am not that kind of a person.

01:51When you come to watch a sport, when you come to watch a match,

01:53then you support your team.

01:55There is no need to do anything political,

01:57there is no need to give political reactions,

01:59there is no need to raise the issue of Kashmir,

02:01and there is no need to say anything wrong about India.

02:04You support your country.

02:05There was an Indian crowd there, they were supporting their players,

02:08so what is wrong in that?

02:09You came to watch a match, there is nothing political here,

02:13so if you support your team with love, then what is wrong in that?

02:18I would just like to say that whenever India and Pakistan play,

02:22I would like to say to the crowds of both the countries,

02:24that you support your country,

02:25support any player or any person,

02:27neither say anything wrong about their country,

02:29nor say anything about Kashmir.

02:31What is shown on social media is twisted at will.

02:33What is shown on social media is shown the way you want,

02:37because everything is not captured on social media,

02:39and everything is not shown.

02:41So I believe that if there was an Indian crowd there,

02:44if they were supporting anyone,

02:46if they were raising slogans for anyone,

02:48then they were not raising slogans for me.

02:49I reacted to those people who raised slogans for me,

02:51or for Hindustan Murdabad.

02:54There were 3-4 people standing like this,

02:56so what do you expect from me?

02:58That nothing should be said.

02:59When you come to watch the India-Pakistan match,

03:01then watch the match.

03:02Enjoy the match, support your country,

03:04support your players,

03:05ultimately only one will win.

03:07But if you politicize in these events,

03:10or raise slogans against the country,

03:12then no one will accept it.

03:15If there was a Pakistani in my place,

03:17and an Indian crowd was doing something like this,

03:18then they would have reacted the same way.

03:19And if this happens in the future,

03:21if this is said in the future,

03:23then obviously the reaction will be the same.
