Celebrations in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu Kashmir peaked after Pakistan defeated India by 10 wickets in a highly anticipated T20 World Cup match on Sunday in Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
Videos of burning firecrackers and chants of Pakistan Zindabad in IIOJK have been making rounds on social media. Several social media users and journalists from Kashmir shared the videos of widespread celebrations across the valley. Despite being heavily surrounded by the Indian army, Kashmiris came out on roads in large numbers to mark the remarkable win. However, reports of physically assaulting Kashmiri students in some parts of the Indian Punjab emerged on social media.

It is distressing to hear about the incidents of physical & verbal assault against some Kashmiri students in a college in Punjab last night. I request @CHARANJITCHANNI ji to direct @PunjabPoliceInd to look in to this & also to reassure the students studying in Punjab.
