The leader of Shiv Sena (UBT) Aaditya Thackey wrote Mansukh Mandaviya minister on Wednesday against the proposed struggle between India and Pakistan in Asia Cup and asked if Bcci was over the national interest.
The letter said that many nations were isolated in sport over the cause that is for the greater good of humanity. Terrorism is one of the causes that prevents one of our nations to proceed in peace.
In the past decade, the country and its citizens faced terrorist attacks based on Pakistan, and the government of the Union was constantly repeating it, Thackery said.
Recently, the Prime Minister also said that water and blood cannot flow together from the wall of the red fortress. Yet because of the bcci urgent and desire for money and advertising income, the “sindoor” and the lives of our Jawans are likely to be negligible, he said.
“Yet, unfortunately, and shamelessly, BCCI sends a team to play Pakistan in the Asian Cup. Is Bcci over the national interest? Is it above the victim of our Jawans? Thackeray said.
“We sent delegations to the world and said that Pakistan was behind Pahalgam. Now we will send the world to the delegation to justify, why do we play cricket with them?” THACKERAY asked.
It is a really shameful act when Pakistan retreated from playing hockey in India and quoted security reasons that BCCI plays Pakistan for selfish interest, former Minister Maharashtra said.
Two Marquee India versus the Pakistani game will take place in Dubai during the upcoming Asia Cup, which is scheduled to start in the UAE since September 9th.
India and Pakistan are read on 14 September in Dubai and again, potentially 21st September in the same place. September 29 will also take place in Dubai. The tournament will be held in the T20i format and will remember the World Cup T20 in India and Sri Lanka early next year.
