BJP Criticizes Mohammad Rizwan for Dedication of Pakistan’s World Cup Victory to Gaza
In a move that has drawn criticism, Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Rizwan dedicated Pakistan’s sensational victory against Sri Lanka in the World Cup to his brothers in Gaza. Rizwan’s heartfelt dedication came after his team successfully chased down a target of 344 runs set by Sri Lanka, securing a remarkable victory for Pakistan.
The match saw exceptional performances from Rizwan himself, who scored an unbeaten 131 runs off 121 balls, as well as Abdullah Shafique and Hassan Ali. Sharing his joy on social media platform X, Rizwan expressed his gratitude to the team and particularly highlighted Shafique and Ali’s contributions.
However, Rizwan’s dedication to the people of Gaza has sparked a political controversy. BJP national spokesperson RP Singh and BJP MP Ram Kadam accused Rizwan of showing Pakistan’s support for terrorism by singling out Gaza for his dedication. They questioned Rizwan’s decision not to dedicate the victory to the Uyghur Muslims in China, shedding light on what they perceive as a biased and politically charged gesture.
Responding to the criticism, Rizwan stated that his intention was to express solidarity with the people of Gaza and the struggles they face. The cricketer emphasized the happiness he felt being part of the team’s success and extended his gratitude to the people of Hyderabad for their support and hospitality.
Despite the controversy, it is important to acknowledge Pakistan’s achievement in this historic World Cup match. With their successful chase, Pakistan set a new record for the highest score ever pursued by a team in World Cup history.
As Rizwan’s dedication continues to stir debate, it becomes imperative to separate sports from politics and appreciate the remarkable performances that unfolded on the field. With his outstanding innings, Rizwan played an instrumental role in Pakistan’s triumph, showcasing his skills and determination.
BJP criticizes Mohammad Rizwan for dedicating Pakistan’s sensational victory against Sri Lanka in the World Cup to his brothers in Gaza. Muhammad Rizwan and Abdullah Shafique century was the strength of the mountain run Lanka Pakistan conquered.
Batting first, Lanka scored 344 runs for the loss of nine wickets in 50 overs. In response, Pakistan reached the target by four wickets in 48.2 overs. “This victory is for the brothers in Gaza. Very happy to be part of the success. Credit goes to all the team members, especially Abdullah Shafiq and Hassan Ali for making the win so easy. Thank you very much for the support and hospitality extended by the people of Hyderabad,’ Rizwan wrote on social media platform X.
But Rizwan’s post has a political colour, said BJP national spokesperson RP Accused Singh and BJP MP Ram Kadam. By dedicating the victory to the people of Gaza, Pakistan shows that it is always a supporter of terrorism. RP asked why Rizwan did not dedicate this victory to the Uyghur Muslims in China. Singh asked.
This was for our brothers and sisters in Gaza. 🤲🏼 Happy to contribute in the victory. Thanks to the whole team and especially Abdullah Shafique and Hassan Ali for making it easier.
