Gambhir’s tweet came after Farooq congratulated the Pakistan Cricket Team on their victory over Team India in the ICC Champions Trophy final held on Sunday.

“Fireworks all around, feels like an early Eid here. Better team took the day. Congratulations team #Pakistan,” he said.

Mirwaiz, a few days back too, had cheered for the Pakistan Cricket Team after their win over England in the first semi-final match of the ICC Champions Trophy.

The chairman of Hurriyat Forum tweeted, “As we were finishing taraweeh, could hear the fire crackers bursting, well played team #Paksitan. Best of luck for the finals!”

This tweet of his earned the ire of many, including political leaders, who asked the media and the people to ignore the comments made by `anti-national elements like him.`
