'Never Take A World Cup Final Away From Mumbai’: Aaditya Thackeray Slams BCCI Following T20 WC Victory Celebration In City

Shiv Sena Uddhav Bal Thackeray leader and former Maharashtra minister Aaditya Thackeray has slammed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for hosting ICC ODI World Cup 2023 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad.

Aaditya in a social media post on Friday, wrote, “Yesterday’s celebration in Mumbai is also a strong message to the BCCI… Never take away a World Cup final from Mumbai!’

Aaditya’s attack on national governing body of cricket in India comes a day after enourmous crowd of Mumbaikars welcomed Indian cricket team as the champions of ICC Cricket World Cup 2024 enthralled them in the victory parade on Thursday (July 4).

The crowds remained at Wankhede Stadium for hours to welcome the T20 Indian cricket team. Wankhede has been witness to numerous historic cricketing events, including India’s first T-20 World Cup victory celebration in 2007 under Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s captaincy, the triumphant 2011 Cricket World Cup win on home soil, and the emotional farewell of Sachin Tendulkar, the Master-Blaster, in 2013.

Aaditya Thackeray previously criticised the BJP for relocating opportunities and events from Mumbai to Ahmedabad. In an interview with the Hindustan Times during the May Lok Sabha elections this year, Aaditya stated, “Maharashtra has suffered significant losses with industries and projects being shifted to Gujarat, including the International Finance Center, Vedanta Foxconn, bulk drugs park, and medical devices park. Even the World Cup final match was moved to Ahmedabad instead of Mumbai, which we had anticipated.”

India-Pakistan cricket match: BJP government should clarify its policy: Uddhav Thackeray

Published

on

Mumbai: Mumbai Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray targeted BJP after the India-Pakistan cricket match and said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) only pretends to be patriotic and this has now become clear. What would have happened if the cricket match was not played with Pakistan? On one hand, after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Pakistan was declared an enemy country and a delegation was sent against it at the international level. Pakistan’s misdeeds were put forward there, but what message will go at the international level if cricket is played with Pakistan. Pakistan carries out terrorist attacks against India and we play matches with it. The stand that the country had made clear against Pakistan after the Pahalgam attack should be maintained, but the BJP wants to sing praises of Amit Shah and Jai Shah. Delegations from across the country say that Pakistan carried out a terrorist attack on India and now a match is being played with it. Is this right? Uddhav Thackeray also raised questions on the foreign policy regarding Pakistan and said that on one hand we call Pakistan a terrorist country and on the other hand we play cricket with it. We narrate the misdeeds of Pakistan during our foreign trips. So what message will go to these countries that on one hand India calls Pakistan a terrorist and on the other hand maintains relations with it. So why would any country support India against Pakistan? Therefore, it is important to decide whether Pakistan is an enemy or a friend. If we end relations with Pakistan, we can convince other countries to do the same. But what message will go when we talk against Pakistan and play cricket with it? That is why I call the Bharatiya Janata Party a fake Janata Party.
