'Pakistan is BJP's partner': Tejashwi criticises India-Pak Asia Cup match

Patna: RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Sunday attacked the BJP over the India-Pakistan Asia Cup match in Dubai, calling it a “partner of Pakistan”.

Yadav, the leader of the opposition, made the comment when journalists asked him about the calls for the boycott of the India-Pakistan cricket match in the aftermath of the terror attack in Pahalgam.

“This is a question that should be posed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who had famously bragged about vermilion (sindoor) flowing in his veins,” he told the journalists.

“Pakistan is a partner of the BJP, which likes to start a military conflict and put off a water treaty, only to announce a ceasefire later. Now, it has agreed to a cricket match, all as per its own convenience,” he added.

The BJP-led government at the Centre had declared suspension of theIndus Waters Treaty, signed with Pakistan way back in 1960, a day after the dastardly terror attack at Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir killed over 20 people.
