Congress leader Pawan Kheda wrote on X that Prime Minister, the first thing is not right to compare a cricket match to the battlefield. Secondly, if you have compared, then you need to learn from the Indian team that when close to victory, good captains do not ceasefire at the behest of a third umpire. At the same time, Supriya Srinet wrote that there should be some difference between the Prime Minister of this country and a cheap troll. Played cricket with those who destroy the vermilion of our daughters. And then the army’s valor operation was equal to the cricket match. Does the courage to say this cheap thing to the widows of the martyrs of Pahalgam?
