Pahalgam Wounds Not Healed & Govt Allowed Pak Hockey Team: Aaditya
The recent decision by the Indian government to grant clearance to the Pakistan hockey team to travel to India for the Men’s Asia Cup has sparked outrage and criticism from many quarters. One of the most vocal critics of this decision is Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray, who took to social media to express his discontent.
In a series of tweets, Thackeray slammed the government’s decision, stating that the wounds of the Pahalgam attack have not yet healed. For those who may not be aware, the Pahalgam attack was a heinous terror attack that took place in 2019, in which a group of terrorists infiltrated the tourist town of Pahalgam in Kashmir and opened fire on a group of tourists, killing several people.
Thackeray’s criticism of the government’s decision is not unfounded. The Pahalgam attack was a traumatic event that left many people scarred, and the fact that the perpetrators of the attack are still at large is a stark reminder of the government’s failure to bring them to justice.
The Shiv Sena (UBT) leader’s tweets sparked a heated debate on social media, with many people expressing their support for his stance. “How can the government allow Pakistan to play hockey in India when the wounds of the Pahalgam attack are still fresh?” one user tweeted. “It’s a slap in the face to the families of the victims,” another user added.
Others, however, defended the government’s decision, arguing that it was a sporting event and that politics should not be mixed with sports. “Sporting events should not be politicized,” one user tweeted. “Let’s focus on the game and not on politics,” another user added.
However, Thackeray’s argument is that the government’s decision to allow Pakistan to play hockey in India is not just about sports, but about national security and sovereignty. “We can’t allow Pakistan to play hockey in India when they are still harboring terrorists who attacked our country,” he tweeted.
Thackeray’s criticism of the government’s decision is not new. In the past, he has been vocal about the need to take a strong stance against Pakistan and its sponsorship of terrorism. In 2020, he even went on to say that India should boycott the South Asian Games, which were to be held in Pakistan, citing concerns about the country’s sponsorship of terrorism.
The government’s decision to allow Pakistan to play hockey in India is seen as a major setback for the country’s national security and sovereignty. It is a reminder that the government is not taking the issue of terrorism seriously and is prioritizing sporting events over national security.
In conclusion, Aaditya Thackeray’s criticism of the government’s decision to allow Pakistan to play hockey in India is justified. The wounds of the Pahalgam attack are still fresh, and the government’s decision to allow Pakistan to play hockey in India is a slap in the face to the families of the victims. The government must take a strong stance against Pakistan and its sponsorship of terrorism and ensure that national security and sovereignty are protected.
