A political controversy has erupted over the upcoming India-Pakistan cricket match in the ongoing Asia Cup, with several opposition parties demanding a boycott. The Aam Aadmi Party held protests in Delhi, with leader Saurabh Bhardwaj accusing the centre of disrespecting victims of the Helgaum terror attack. Parties including the Congress and Shiv Sena have criticized the BCCI and the ruling BJP for allowing the match to proceed. The opposition questions how cricket can be played with Pakistan, referencing a prior government stance that "water and blood cannot flow together." In response, the BJP has stated that while bilateral series with Pakistan are on hold, participation in a multi-nation tournament is necessary to avoid losing points. Victims of the Pehalgaon attack have also reportedly joined the calls for a boycott. #indiavspakistan #asiacup #boycottindpakmatch #itwbvideos #cricket #indianpolitics #aamaadmiparty #bjp #congress #shivsena #bcci #indiatoday #delhiprotest
