Political protests resurfaced at the 2019 International Cricket Council (ICC) Cricket World Cup on Sunday when a van carrying a board saying "End mob lynching. Save Minorities in India" message was seen at the Lord’s Cricket Ground, during the event’s final between New Zealand and England.

The World Cup has witnessed other political protests during matches, with the International Cricket Council distancing itself from them each time.

Banners reading "#Justice for Kashmir" and "India stop genocide & free Kashmir" were flown over Headingley during India's match with Sri Lanka.

Also a number of spectators were handcuffed and ejected from Old Trafford during the first World Cup semi-final between India and New Zealand after mounting a political protest.

The fans were apparently Sikh separatists who wore T-shirts and held banners demanding a referendum on an independent homeland to be carved out of India.

"We are incredibly disappointed this has happened again," an ICC spokesman said in a statement, a few days back. "We do not condone any sort of political messages at the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup. Throughout the tournament we have worked with local police forces around the country to prevent this type of protest occurring.”

Anti-India Fans Chanting “Khalistan-Zindabad” Evicted From Cricket World Cup Match After Refusing To Stop

India Also Thrown Out Of The Cricket World Cup After Being Defeated By New Zealand!

Holding banners with political messages, the spectators were apparently demanding a referendum on creating an independent homeland of Khalistan in Punjab. “We do not condone any sort of political messages at the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup and initially asked the group to stop the protest so they could remain in venue, when they refused they were asked to leave,” the spokesperson added.





MANCHESTER – Sikh separatists chanting “Khalistan-Zindabad” and raising anti-India slogans were evicted from Old Trafford during Tuesday’s World Cup semi-final, where India was beaten and thrown out of the World Cup.

Holding banners with political messages, the spectators were apparently demanding a referendum on creating an independent homeland of Khalistan in Punjab.

The current World Cup has seen a number of incidents with political overtones at various grounds. The ICC has distanced itself on all occasions.

“We can confirm a small group of fans were asked to leave Old Trafford during the first innings today for breaching the ticketing terms and conditions by undertaking a political protest,” an ICC spokesperson told PTI.

“We do not condone any sort of political messages at the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup and initially asked the group to stop the protest so they could remain in venue, when they refused they were asked to leave,” the spokesperson added.

Anti-India banners were unfurled from planes over the Headingley ground during India’s last stage match against Sri Lanka on Saturday.

It followed an earlier incident when a banner reading “Justice for Balochistan’ was flown over the same ground in Leeds during the game between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

For the first semifinal, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) ensured that air space above Old Trafford was made a ‘No Fly Zone’ in the wake of the unsavoury incidents at Headingley.

“We work with venue security and local police forces around the country to prevent this type of protest occurring and will continue to do so,” he further said.

There has been an earlier incident of Pro Khalistani slogans being raised during a Pakistan game.
