Former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh opposed the Indian team playing against Pakistan in the Asia Cup.According to Indian media, former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh has said in a statement that India should refuse to play matches against Pakistan. They said that our soldiers do not return home and we go to play cricket. This is a mockery of the sacrifices of the soldiers. Why do we give them so much importance?Harbhajan Singh said that our government’s stance is also that “blood and water cannot flow together”. The Asia Cup 2025 will begin in the United Arab Emirates on September 9, but ahead of the tournament, Indian media and former players are, as usual, busy propagandizing against Pakistan.
The India-Pakistan match is scheduled for September 14, which will be the first clash between the two countries since the Pahalgam attack in April. It may be recalled that using this attack as a justification, India tried to end all relations with Pakistan and also politicized the field of play.These statements by the Indian media and players are proof that India has not been able to overcome its fear of Pakistan even in the field of sports. It is as if an attempt is being made to turn sports into a weapon of hostility.The fact is that cricket fans around the world are extremely excited to see Pakistan and India clash, but such politicking on the part of India goes against the spirit of the game.The position of the Pakistani people and players has always been clear that cricket should be kept separate from politics, but India, following its old practice, wants to use the sport as a means of spreading enmity and hatred.
