The BJP condemned opposition parties on Monday for failing to recognize the national cricket team's triumph over Pakistan during the Asia Cup 2025 championship match. India defeated its rival by five wickets at Dubai International Stadium. The victory secured the tournament trophy for the ninth time. Party representatives demanded Congress abandon its critical stance, and they called for unity in celebrating the achievement.
BJP spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain praised the players' performance, and he noted their refusal to accept the trophy from a Pakistani official. Another party representative questioned whether opposition figures supported Indian athletes or sided with adversaries. Bihar Minister Nitin Nabin compared the victory to military operations against Pakistan. The BJP insisted political rivals should acknowledge accomplishments that bring pride to millions of citizens.
