Asia Cup: Afghanistan And Pakistan Fans Clash After Encounter

Clashes were reported between Afghanistan and Pakistan fans after the latter won the Asia Cup encounter, as per ANI. 

According to Mohsin Dawar, a Member National Assembly from North Waziristan, Pakistan’s “strategic depth policy” and “interventionist misadventures in Afghanistan” is the reason why it happened. 

“Using a cricket match as an excuse to hurl racist abuse against Afghans is peak shamelessness. Pakistan’s decades-old strategic depth policy and interventionist misadventures in Afghanistan are why Afghans have a problem with Pakistan. Introspect before belittling Afghans,” tweeted the Chairman Foreign Affairs Committee.
