According to a report by News Tamil 24×7, officials have informed that the Indian national flag is not allowed to be carried inside the stadium due to the match between Pakistan and Afghanistan teams.
 
 
 
 
Police officials stationed at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk, Chennai (Assembly constituency of DMK Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin) have been seizing the Indian flags carried by the fans.
 
The report by News Tamil 24×7 noted that one of the police officials dumped the seized Indian flags into a dustbin which enraged the people. Later, the same police official took the flag from the bin and kept it inside his car.
 
On the other hand, those wearing Pakistani team t-shirts have been allowed inside the stadium notes the News Tamil 24×7 report.
 
The latest development comes against the backdrop of DMK Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin coming out in support of Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Rizwan after an enthusiastic crowd chanted ‘Jai Shri Ram’ when he was making his way back to the pavilion after getting out at 49 runs.
 
Reacting on the incident, BJP Tamil Nadu President K. Annamalai condemned the incident saying “Gopalapuram Scion Thiru Udhayanidhi Stalin had problems with the #JaiShriRam chant during the Cricket match against Pakistan, having forgotten the treatment meted out to our players in Pakistan in the past. DMK Minister Thiru Ponmudi’s son & TNCA President Thiru Ashok Sigamani has taken their political propaganda one step further and have insulted our Nation’s flag today. The police outside the stadium disallowed fans from carrying the Indian flag to today’s match in Chepauk. Who gave TNCA this right? We demand the strictest action against the police officers for insulting our National flag, and the DMK should apologise to the people of our state, failing which, @BJP4TamilNadu will be compelled to protest against this Corrupt DMK government for denigrating the sanctity of the Tricolor.“
