A Pakistani player has been banned indefinitely for wearing an Indian jersey and hoisting the Indian tricolor. This Pakistani player is being discussed all over the world. In fact, Pakistan’s international Kabaddi player Ubaidullah Rajput has been indefinitely banned by the national federation for representing the Indian team in a private tournament earlier this month.

Pakistan Kabaddi Federation (PKF) banned Rajput after an emergency meeting on Saturday. He was found guilty of playing in the tournament and traveling abroad without obtaining the mandatory No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the federation or other concerned authorities. PKF secretary Rana Sarwar said Rajput has the right to appeal before the disciplinary committee.

Sarwar said the federation took serious note of the fact that Rajput not only traveled abroad without an NOC, but also represented an Indian team, ,Wore his jersey and on one occasion draped the Indian flag over his shoulders after winning a match. But he (Rajput) has claimed that it was a complete misunderstanding and he was not told that the team he would play for in this private tournament would be the Indian team, Sarwar said. But still he is guilty of violating NOC rules.,

Videos and pictures of Rajput wearing the Indian jersey and waving the Indian flag during the GCC Cup went viral on social media, after which he got into trouble. Sarwar said that other players have also been banned and fined for participating in this competition without taking NOC.

Rajput had earlier apologized and said that he was invited to participate in the competition played in Bahrain and he was part of a private team. He said, ,But I later came to know that he had named the team ‘Indian Team’. I told the organizers not to use the names of India and Pakistan. In the past, Indian and Pakistani players have played together for private teams in private competitions, but those teams were not named after India or Pakistan. I was given wrong information.,

India’s youth Kabaddi team gave such a performance in the Asian Youth Games that filled the entire country with pride. In the match played in Bahrain, the Indian team defeated Pakistan by a huge margin of 81-26. Before this match, something happened during the toss, which caught everyone’s attention. Indian captain Ishant Rathi refused to shake hands with the Pakistani captain.

Pakistan’s crushing defeat

Despite this ‘no handshake’ moment at the time of toss, the Indian team played brilliantly on the field. From the beginning, India maintained its dominance over the match. Pakistan team could not stand before the speed and strategy of Indian players.

Earlier, India had tasted defeat to Bangladesh by 83-19 and Sri Lanka by 89-16. That means Team India has been undefeated in the tournament so far and is moving strongly towards the finals.

India’s sole rule in Kabaddi

This is the first time that Kabaddi has been made a part of the Asian Youth Games. Teams from seven countries are facing each other in round-robin format. The teams that will remain on top in this format will face each other in the final match to be held on October 23. Looking at the current performance, it seems that India has almost confirmed its place in the finals.

‘No handshake’ raised questions, but got the support of the country

The trend of “not shaking hands” has started appearing again and again between the players of India and Pakistan. A few months ago, in the Asia Cup cricket also, the team captained by Suryakumar Yadav had decided not to shake hands with Pakistani players after the match. The women’s team also did the same during the World Cup this year.

This stance has been taken by India after the recent Pahalgam terrorist attack. 26 Indians were killed in this attack. Many sports analysts believe that this ‘no handshake’ is a silent protest against Pakistan.
