Kejriwal On PM Modi

At the same time, former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that this match is being organized under the pressure of Trump.

Former Chief Minister of Delhi and AAP Convenor Arvind Kejriwal targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi through a post on social media platform X. He said, "What is the need for the Prime Minister to organize a match with Pakistan? The whole country is saying that this match should not happen. Then why is this match being organized?"

प्रधान मंत्री जी को पाकिस्तान के साथ मैच करवाने की आख़िर क्या ज़रूरत है? सारा देश कह रहा है कि ये मैच नहीं होना चाहिए। फिर ये मैच क्यों करवाया जा रहा है?

क्या ये भी ट्रम्प के दबाव में किया जा रहा है? आख़िर ट्रम्प के आगे कितना झुकोगे? https://t.co/Wy8LPOBlHE

Saurabh Bhardwaj Statement

AAP Delhi President Saurabh Bhardwaj raised serious questions on the government. He said, "The sindoor of our 26 sisters was wiped off (in the Pahalgam terror attack). The terrorists killed them selectively. The government had said that we will start 'Operation Sindoor', so how can our cricket team play cricket with such people?"

शहीदों के लहू से बड़ा क्रिकेट का जुनून कब से हो गया, प्रधानमंत्री जी? जब बहनों की मांग का सिंदूर मिटा है, तब पाकिस्तान से मैच करवाने की आखिर ज़रूरत क्या है? https://t.co/5Qt1GOrOYJ
