Opposition Slams Govt Over India-Pakistan Asia Cup Clash, Cites Modi’s “Blood and Water” Remark

He further said that the BCCI is organizing this match only for money. 90 percent of the people of India have been hurt; people's feelings are being played with. I will boycott this match and will not watch it.

SP MP Ruchi Veera has also protested against the India-Pakistan match. He said that when the minds do not match between the two countries, then it is not appropriate to organize any match. He further said - Our feelings are getting hurt. There are other countries with whom matches can be played. It is not necessary to play matches only with Pakistan. Recently, a terrorist incident has taken place in Pahalgam, Kashmir. Prime Minister Narendra Modi should understand the feelings of the people.

While on one hand, the opposition parties are opposing the India-Pakistan match, on the other hand, it is being supported by the NDA constituents. Senior NCP leader and former MP Anand Paranjape said that after the death of 26 people in the Pahalgam terrorist attack, the general public's sentiment is that no one-to-one series should be played by inviting the Pakistan cricket team to India.

He also clarified that if Pakistan participates in any international tournament and India has to play the match, then there is nothing wrong with it. He expressed confidence that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the central government will respect public sentiments and will not play a bilateral series with Pakistan.
