Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray questioned on Tuesday why the Centre appeared to be “going soft” on the BCCI by permitting the Bangladesh cricket team to tour India, especially as the minority Hindu community is facing violence in Bangladesh.
In a post on X, Thackeray stated that trolls in India are inciting hatred under the guise of the violence occurring in Bangladesh, while the BCCI continues to host the Bangladeshi team.
“I wonder why those who have actively campaigned against this violence, don’t speak to the @BCCI and ask questions? Or is it only about creating hate in India and election propaganda?” he said.
“Just keen to know from the Ministry of External Affairs, whether Hindus in Bangladesh faced violence in the past 2 months, as told to us by some media and social media? If yes, and hindus and other minorities faced violence, then why is the bjp run Government of India going so easy on the BCCI and allowing the tour? If no, then is the @MEAIndia ok with the constant social media and media stories about the violence in Bangladesh?” Thackeray, a former Maharashtra minister, further said.
So Bangladesh cricket team is on tour of India.
Just keen to know from the Ministry of External Affairs, whether hindus in Bangladesh faced violence in the past 2 months, as told to us by some media and social media?
If yes, and hindus and other minorities faced violence, then…
