Disrespectful To Soldiers Who Lost Their Lives: Oppn Slams India-Pakistan Asia Cup Clash
Congress MP Balwant Baswant Wankhade: As India prepares to face Pakistan in one of the most anticipated matches of the Asia Cup 2025, the political heat back home is intensifying. Several opposition leaders have strongly criticized the decision to go ahead with the match, calling it disrespectful to the memories of the soldiers who lost their lives in recent terror attacks.
Congress MP Balwant Baswant Wankhade condemned the match in strong terms, linking it directly to national honour.
“I would like to say that sport is just a game and there is nothing wrong with playing it. But playing a match with a country that attacked our honour and in which innocent people were killed is not right. Our soldiers fought bravely during that attack and later in Operation Sindoor, demonstrating great valour. Allowing this match disrespects our soldiers and exposes our nation’s weakness. I strongly condemn and denounce those who permitted this game,” he said.
