After India’s victory in the Asia Cup final against Pakistan, Priyanka Chaturvedi, a Rajya Sabha member, expressed worries about the financial implications of the match. She stated that while India celebrated the win, the funds generated would go to the Pakistan Cricket Board. She fears that Pakistan might use the money to reconstruct terror camps like Muridke. Chaturvedi urged people to not be blinded by the victory and to acknowledge the potential dangers. She also noted that India’s problem with Pakistan goes beyond cricket, stemming from the issue of terrorism. Chaturvedi reminded citizens that this rivalry isn’t just about sports but also involves the significant harm inflicted upon the nation. The statement comes after a terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22 where 26 people were killed. Following this, the Indian army launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, destroying multiple terrorist bases and targeting Pakistani airbases including Rawalpindi and Muridke. Chaturvedi’s remarks highlight the need to consider the broader security implications alongside the joy of the sports victory.
