The youths also chanted pro-Pakistan and pro-freedom slogans as Indian paramilitary troops stayed in their bunkers, witnesses said.

ohh all kashmiris are a big fan of pakistani team..whenever there was india pakistan cricket match,we almost used to have no traffic on roads..everybody used to be sooo busy watching the match..even in classes my batchmates would bring radios with them and listen to commentary in between lectures..and even those kashmiris who are supporters of India somehow end up being pakistani supporter during India pakistani cricket matches :)
