Naqvi did not object to India’s refusal to collect Women’s Asia Cup trophy

[Master Chief]

Again - look at posters such as @El Sidd and others bringing religion into a sports, politics thread and where your country-men have taken the thread. Look where you have managed to take standards of moderation on the forum....

No matter how much people in your country want to impose or defend the 2-nation theory on Indians - the truth will prevail.

The inference that there is some religious undercurrent to Indian state level behaviour is entirely reasonable.

You called your operation "Sindoor", in case you needed reminding.

We have been informed by some sources, including tweets from Modi himself, (though others contradict) that Sindoor has continued on the cricket pitch. The venerable @El Sidd raises a valid point. Refute it with evidence instead of besmirching the good name of the messenger.

If your personal opinion is that religious dogma and cricket have remained separate in India, then you are entitled to that view, but as far as we know, it is contrary to that of the leader of the Indian state and its armed forces.

not gloating. Just refuting the allegation from you countryman that Indians didn't shake hands with Naqvi cause he is muslim.

Mixed messages from Indians are unhelpful.

If religious dogma has nothing to do with cricket matches, Modi himself ought to retract his former statements conflating the religious substance of sindoor with a cricket result.

If politics has nothing to do with cricket matches, assurances should be given to Suryakumar Yadav and others that he is there to play cricket and to compete as an athlete, not to be "in agreement with the government" and to continue state policy on the cricket pitch.

Why state policy can't be continued on sports field. Its happening since ages. Its not players' decision, its the people of India who would criticise Modi if sports is treated as if there is some normal bonhomie between two nations.
