Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray on Friday (September 12, 2025) slammed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) over the India-Pakistan match slated for September 14 in the ongoing Asia Cup 2025.
Seeking its boycott, he said, “We have told the whole world that Pakistan was behind the [Pahalgam] attack in India. And yet, we are now wanting to play with them.”
“Shame on BCCI for its anti-national and selfish behaviour,” he said and asked how “blood and cricket can flow together when blood and water can’t” (referring to India suspending the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan after the Pahalgam attack).
