Shiv Sena Urges PM Modi to Cancel India-Pakistan T20 World Cup Match Amidst Terror Attacks

A Shiv Sena leader has written to Prime Minister Modi seeking the cancellation of the India-Pakistan T20 World Cup match in light of recent terrorist attacks in Jammu and Kashmir. The letter is also addressed to Union Home Minister and other relevant authorities. The undivided Shiv Sena has historically opposed such fixtures.

In an urgent letter, a Shiv Sena leader has appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to annul the T20 World Cup match between India and Pakistan due to recent terrorist attacks in Jammu and Kashmir. This letter, also addressed to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, the Union Sports Minister, and the BCCI, reflects growing concerns over security and safety.

India secured a significant victory against Pakistan in a Group A match held in New York on June 9. The prospect of another face-off in the semi-finals or final depends on both teams' progression in the tournament.

Shiv Sena (UBT) spokesperson Anand Dubey emphasized in his letter the necessity of canceling the match amidst escalating violence. Historically, the undivided Shiv Sena has vehemently opposed cricket fixtures with Pakistan, even resorting to disruptive tactics like sabotaging pitches.

The plea follows a series of violent incidents, including the killing of a CRPF jawan, injuries to six security personnel in Kathua and Doda districts, and attacks on civilians in Reasi district.
