Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi has once again targeted the match between India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup. He said in a post that he mentioned Pakistan’s hockey team. The MP said that the Pakistani hockey team boycotted the Asia Hockey Cup despite all the approval to play in India. At the same time, the cowardly trend of our Government of India to carry forward the cricket match is very embarrassing.

Priyanka Chaturvedi was also provoked on the announcement of the team

The Shiv Sena UBT MP targeted BCCI after the announcement of the Indian team. He had said that now BJP’s cheerleaders will go to Dubai to watch matches between India and Pakistan. Let us know that on September 14, the match will be played between Indo-Pak at Dubai International Stadium.

Government should close telecast if not match- Priyanka Chaturvedi

In another post, Priyanka Chaturvedi said, “If the Government of India does not have the courage to stop the match, then she can definitely stop the live streaming and telecast of the Indo -Pak match. Our IT Ministry and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting are very good in it, so shown it by shutting down.”

What is the attitude of the Government of India?

The Sports Ministry made it clear on Thursday (August 21) that the Indian cricket team will not be stopped from playing in the Asia Cup with several teams next month. The government also made it clear that no bilateral series with Pakistan will play the Indian team. Please tell that Priyanka Chaturvedi, MP of Uddhav Thackeray faction, had also demanded the government to ban the match between the two countries in the Rajya Sabha.

India and Pakistan cricket teams are included in the same group in the Asia Cup. Its schedule has been released and the match between India Pakistan will be played on 14 September. Fans were already expressing their displeasure towards the board about this, criticizing why Pakistan was being matching. Meanwhile, a big statement of Sourav Ganguly has also come, which has further instigated some fans. His statement is being criticized on social media.

Talking to ANI, Sourav Ganguly said when India and Pakistan join the same group in the Asia Cup, “I have no problem. The game should be done. What happened in Pahalgam should not be there but the game should continue. The game should continue. Terrorism should not be stopped, it should not be stopped. India has taken a strong stand towards terrorism.”

Fans furious with Sourav Ganguly’s statement

On April 22, 2025, there was a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, whose wires were associated with Pakistan. After this, there was anger across the country, the army also avenged it and laid a revenge on terrorist bases in Pakistan. Recently in the World Championship of Legends, former India cricketers refused to play the match with Pakistan after criticizing the match and the match had to be canceled. Now after joining the same group of both teams in the Asia Cup, the anger of the fans has increased once again. In such a situation, this statement of Sourav Ganguly worked as ghee in the fire.

Not at all accepTable.
