How DMK And Dravidian Stockists Were Simping For Pakistan During Pak Vs Afg World Cup Series Match

That cricket fans in Ahmedabad chose to chant Jai Shri Ram during India vs Pakistan match of the ICC World Cup 2023 created a whole lot of buzz. It apparently seemed to have enraged a large part of the ruling DMK and those who pride themselves as Dravidian stockists. In response to the video that was circulating on social media platforms, several members of the DMK criticised the “behaviour”.  Let’s have a look at how they simped for the Pakistanis. 

DMK Scion Udhayanidhi Stalin ♥ Pakistan

DMK Minister and son of MK Stalin, Udhayanidhi Stalin questioned how a country known for its sportsmanship and hospitality would treat their guests in this manner. He wrote, “India is renowned for its sportsmanship and hospitality. However, the treatment meted out to Pakistan players at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is unacceptable and a new low. Sports should be a unifying force between countries, fostering true brotherhood. Using it as a tool to spread hatred is condemnable.”

Congress Member Dhivya Marunthiah ♥ Pakistan

Congress member Dhivya Marunthiah simped royally for Pakistan when they landed in Chennai. Once the Pakistani team landed in Chennai, she posted a tweet welcoming the Pakistani cricket players to Tamil Nadu. Many on social media pointed out how the same lady had previously posted against Prime Minister Narendra Modi visiting Tamil Nadu with the hashtag #GoBackModi (partly peddled by Pakistan). 

Earlier, during the Ahmedabad match, in which India won against Pakistan, a disappointed Dhivya wrote that the country lost to religious extremists and prayed that the Pakistani team wins the world cup this time.

 

Here are a few other instances where the Congress member went on a cringe fest expressing her love for Pakistan.

While the Congress lady went out of the way to prove her love for Pakistan, she had shown contempt for people of her own country (specifically people living in Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh) by abusing them for their electoral choice.

DMK Minister TRB Rajaa ♥ Pakistan

 

DMK IT Wing Secretary and Minister for Industries TRB Rajaa reshared posts such as these:

During the Pak vs Afghanistan match, TRB Rajaa retweeted several posts that praised Chennai for its “knowledgeable” behaviour/character that inadvertently displayed love for Pakistan.

When Babar scored a half-century, the DMK Minister went on to glorify it saying “This ladies and gentleman is #Chepauk” while he had failed to do appreciate the Afghanistan team for their spectacular win.

Prashanth Rangaswamy ♥ Pakistan

Self-proclaimed film reviewer, Prashanth Rangasamy also went overboard in “welcoming” Pakis and abusing the non-left who questioned his stand.

This same Prashanth Rangaswamy who had peddled the watch “sports as sports” trope had said that he won’t extend a warm welcome to Srin Lanka players back in 2013.

Female Dravidian Stockist ♥ Pakistan

As always Tamil Nadu, especially the DMK and Dravidianists went to denounce the Gujarat model of development and even went overboard to show Gujaratis in poor light. This Dravidianist woman is known for peddling hate against north Indians. 

 

She called Hindi speakers as uncouth. 

In another post, she welcomed the Pakistani team and how!

Madan Gowri ♥ Pakistan

Next we come to YouTuber Madan Gowri who is known to peddle half-truths and DMK propaganda in his videos. He made the below posts on his X handle.

Wonder what they would say if they heard “Naara-e-takbeer…..”

All this simping aside, it would be a wonder if any one of them, even one of them would take a flight and visit the neighbouring nation, leave alone stay there for an extended period of time. 

The same people are the same ones who do not acknowledge the massacre of the Kashmiri Pandits. Some even went on to trivialise it as random acts of violence. These are the same people who do not raise their voice against the ill-treatment, abuse, forced conversions of Pakistani Hindus in that country. 

While DMK or Dravidian Stockists claimed themselves to be the “knowledgeable Chennai crowd” appreciated good cricket, they never exhibited the same amount of passion that they displayed for Pakistan when Afghanistan registered a stupendous victory.

The Dravidian Stockists, who have continued to exhibit a perplexing fondness for Pakistan, also raised objections to the abrogation of Article 370. They portrayed it as a “Kashmir problem,” seemingly dissociating it from India. Left unchecked, their stance might suggest a willingness to cede the entire Kashmir region to Pakistan, akin to the decision of the then-DMK government to give away Katchatheevu to Sri Lanka. 

They also don’t care about speaking up for the soldiers who risk their lives at the border to protect the country’s citizens, which includes them. Instead, they often attribute it to the “Kashmir problem” and suggest that if India handed the territory back to Pakistan, this issue would never have arisen.

The #DMK and other Dravidian Stockists simping for Pakistan is not new. Their love for Pakistan has a history. Read this article to know the historical antecedent of D Stocks turning cheerleaders for the
