'Shameless To Play With Enemies:' Samajwadi Party Calls For Boycott Of India-Pakistan Asia Cup Match
Pakistan Asia Cup: As the cricketing world gears up for the much-anticipated Asia Cup 2025, where India and Pakistan are scheduled to clash, the Samajwadi Party (SP) on Friday launched a scathing attack on the Narendra Modi government, declaring its opposition to the match as the political and security atmosphere was not conducive for sporting ties, and calling it "a shameless act to play with enemies".
Speaking to IANS, SP's Maharashtra unit chief Abu Asim Azmi said: "There is match-fixing going on between Prime Minister Modi and Pakistan. When the sindoor of 26 women vanished after the terror incident, people demanded action, but instead, a ceasefire was announced. Now, when a cricket match is being organised, it feels suspicious. The people of India will not tolerate this. The government must give a clarification."
He added that while he personally favoured peace between the two nations, Pakistan’s continued acts of terror made such sporting engagements unacceptable.
