Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Thursday lashed out at the BCCI for not withdrawing from playing against Pakistan during the ongoing Asia Cup in the United Arab Emirates. MP Sanjay Raut, while addressing the media on Thursday morning, said, “While Operation Sindoor is still on, how can the government allow it to play a cricket match against Pakistan?”

Sanjay Raut, while calling this an act of “treason and shamelessness”, also asserted that his party would stage protests under the campaign Sindoor Raksha Abhiyan.
