Mumbai: Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Monday targeted the BJP and the Indian cricket team to play against Pakistan in the Asia Cup final. Referring to the video posted on X, Raut said that before the tournament, Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav had joined hands with Pakistan Cricket Board chief Mohsin Naqvi. He said, “I do not know about BJP’s fake patriots and devotees, but the real patriots did not watch yesterday.
Sanjay Raut’s question – did not take the trophy, did not join hands, then why did you play the match?
In addition, he described the match between India and Pakistan as an insult to those killed in the Indian Army and Pahalgam terrorist attacks. He said, “Our question is why you are playing with Pakistan? You should not insult the soldiers and those killed in Pahalgam. You did not take the trophy, did not join their captain, then why did you play the match? If you have played, then stop this drama.”
