New Delhi, June 19 (IBNS): Hurriyat leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq triggered a controversy on Monday as he wished Pakistan for winning the Champions Trophy by beating India in the final.


He tweeted: "Fireworks all around, feels like an early Eid here. Better team took the day. Congratulations team #Pakistan."
