Congress MP Ujjwal Raman Singh: Following Pakistan’s decision to boycott its high-profile T20 World Cup match against India, the Opposition on Monday termed the move the 'biggest slap on the face' of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Several Opposition leaders also questioned India’s participation in matches against Pakistan after 'Operation Sindoor'. Meanwhile, the BJP said Pakistan’s decision was inconsequential and it was another example of its cowardice.

Speaking to IANS, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi said Pakistan’s boycott exposed the failure of cricketing diplomacy.

“This is the biggest slap on the face of the BCCI. The BCCI is the most powerful and richest cricket body in the world and an influential member of the ICC. After the terror attack and 'Operation Sindoor', we repeatedly raised Pakistan’s role in promoting terrorism on global platforms. Families of the 26 people who lost their lives kept appealing that matches should not be played with Pakistan,” she said.
