SRINAGAR: Islamic University of Science and Technology (IUST), Awantipora Saturday piped Jammu University in the summit clash of football event of State Universities Championship played at Jammu university ground.
In the see-saw battle, IUST kept their nerves to fashion title glory in an atmosphere that favored the hosts. Mohsin Mir was the star for the winners, netting a solitary goal of the finals that proved to be the difference between the two sides.
The summit clash was played in the backdrop of a controversy that was created by ABVP activists. The final was slated to be played on Friday but had to be stopped midway after ABVP activists entered the playing zone to register their protest against the visitors showing disrespect to national anthem. The activists sporting their organizations flags accused the IUST students of not standing up when national anthem was played at the start of the match on Friday. So much so, ABVP activists forced the organisers to play the national anthem during the course of the game on Friday and warned the IUST players of dire consequences. The ABVP drama forced the organisers to call off the final on Friday, only to be replayed on Saturday. IUST players didnt get bogged down by the controversy, bringing their A game into play and take home the trophy.
