Aircraft Carrying 'Release Imran Khan' Banner Flies Over India-Pakistan T20 World Cup Match

Imran Khan's Supporters Fly 'Release Imran Khan' Banner Over India-Pakistan T20 World Cup Match

During the highly anticipated India-Pakistan T20 World Cup match in New York on Sunday, an aircraft carrying the message "Release Imran Khan" was spotted flying over the stadium. The incident sparked controversy and drew attention to the ongoing political situation in Pakistan.

Imran Khan, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, has been incarcerated in Adiala Jail since August 2023 on multiple charges, including the Toshakhana case, cipher case, and un-Islamic marriage case. His supporters have been demanding his release, and the aircraft banner was a symbolic gesture of their support.

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI), Khan's political party, posted a video of the incident on their Twitter handle, captioned "Release Imran Khan." The video quickly went viral, garnering widespread attention.

Khan, who led Pakistan to victory in the 1992 ODI World Cup, remains a popular figure in the country. His supporters believe that he was unfairly removed from power and that the charges against him are politically motivated.

The incident occurred during a highly charged match between India and Pakistan, two nations with a long-standing rivalry. The match was being played at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, and emotions were running high among the passionate fans in the stands.

India, led by Rohit Sharma, won the toss and opted to bat first. Pakistan, led by Babar Azam, made one change to their lineup, replacing Azam Khan with Imad Wasim.

India scored 81 runs for the loss of three wickets in 10 overs, with Rishabh Pant and Suryakumar Yadav at the crease. Naseem Shah and Shaheen Afridi claimed two and one wickets respectively for Pakistan.

The match is still ongoing, and the outcome remains uncertain. However, the "Release Imran Khan" banner has added an extra layer of intrigue to the already intense rivalry between India and Pakistan.
