"Hindustan Zindabad"

A Pakistani man has been arrested in the city of Haripur for writing "Long live India" on a wall.

Police said the 20-year-old match factory worker had admitted writing the slogan "Hindustan Zindabad".

The Persian term Hindustan continued to be used as a name for the Republic of India after partition.

The man told police he liked Bollywood music and films and wanted to be an actor.
He could face up to seven years in jail.

Legal experts say that although the slogan itself is not specifically banned
it could be interpreted under section 505 of the law as incitement to mutiny
endangering the lives of military personnel
or incitement to violence against the state.

In January last year, a Pakistani fan and lookalike of Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli
was arrested for hoisting India's flag at his home as a tribute to him.
He was charged but later acquitted.

Last December, an[b] Indian[/b] fan was beaten up and then arrested
for wearing a shirt sporting the name of Pakistani cricketer, Shahid Afridi.

In June this year, charges of sedition were brought, against 15 Muslim men in India
for allegedly shouting "anti-India and pro-Pakistan" slogans during the Champions Trophy cricket final.

The men were charged with "disturbing communal harmony"
