Union Minister Giriraj Singh has said that the cricket match between India and Pakistan in the T20 World Cup should be reconsidered as the relations between the two countries are not good.
Asked whether there should be an India-Pakistan match in view of the targeted killings in Jammu and Kashmir, Singh said, “I think if the relations (between India and Pakistan) are not good then it should be reconsidered. “
The much-awaited high-octane clash between India and Pakistan in the upcoming T20 World Cup will take place in Dubai on October 24.
In the past few days, there has been a spate of targeted killings of civilians, especially non-locals, in Jammu and Kashmir. On Sunday, two non-local laborers were killed in indiscriminate firing by terrorists in Wanpoh area of Kulgam. Earlier on Friday, terrorists shot dead a Golgappa hawker from Bihar and a carpenter from Uttar Pradesh in the Union Territory.
Speaking further, the Union minister alleged that Congress has “double standards” in politics as its leaders visit Lakhimpur Kheri, where 8 lives were lost in violence on October 3, while they are silent on crimes in Rajasthan.
“The Congress is doing second-class politics. In Rajasthan, people belonging to the reserved community are being killed and women are being raped. The chief minister is sitting at his residence… but he goes to Lakhimpur for ‘nautanki’,” he said. We do.” This is politics to create confusion.
On October 3, eight people were killed in the Lakhimpur Kheri incident.
