He wrote, “Congress is against India’s national interest! On one hand, Rahul Gandhi has not yet congratulated the Indian cricket team on thrashing Pakistan on the sports battlefield! On the other hand, when Pakistan is completely cornered, you have Congress leaders asking for sportsmanship against Pakistan!”
Pradeep Bhandar, while posting on social media, also asked, “Why does Congress always support Pakistan over India?” Criticising the Congress party’s silence over India’s emphatic win, the BJP national spokesperson further called Congress the “B-Team of Pakistan.”
As reported by news agency IANS, taking aim at Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, Bhandari said, “In Operation Sindoor, Congress stood with Pakistan. In Operation Tilak, Congress stands with Pakistan. Rahul Gandhi is the best friend of Asim Munir!”
Earlier during the late hours of Sunday, people erupted in joy as Team India secured a thrilling five-wicket victory over arch-rivals Pakistan to lift the Asia Cup 2025. This win, amid ongoing tensions between the two nations, marks India’s ninth triumph in the Continental tournament.
India’s success was scripted first by their spinners, with Kuldeep Yadav spearheading a stunning turnaround on a two-paced pitch. From 113/1 in the 13th over, Pakistan crumbled to 146 all out in 19.1 overs, losing their last nine wickets for just 33 runs.
Across cities, towns, and villages, fans celebrated the historic win with chants, and social media was buzzing with excitement, reported IANS. The final was played at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai, which lived up to the intense India-Pakistan rivalry.
Just a few minutes after India defeated their arch-rivals, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while posting on X, referred to India’s famous victory as “Operation Sindoor on the games field.” PM Modi wrote, “Operation Sindoor on the games field. The outcome is the same — India wins! Congrats to our cricketers,” as per IANS.
