AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi asks Centre to stop India-Pakistan T20 World Cup match
By Express News Service
HYDERABAD: AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi has criticised the Narendra Modi government for allowing the Indian cricket team to play Pakistan in the T20 World Cup when nine Indian soldiers and several civilians had been killed by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir. The match is scheduled for October 24.
Wondering why Union Home Minister Amit Shah and the Intelligence Bureau couldn’t prevent the killings, he criticised the Centre for failing to counter terrorism in Jammu & Kashmir. Owaisi also questioned the silence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding the Chinese aggression and on sky-rocketing prices of petrol and diesel.
Responding to the issue of Muslim girls being attacked when found with males from other religions in recent times, he questioned what right anyone had to do so.
“If a Muslim wearing a burkha is found with a Muslim man there is no problem. But if a Muslim girl is found with a man from other religion it becomes an issue. Are we living in 1969 or 2021,” he wondered, opining that nobody had the right to prevent people from falling in love.

India must not play Pakistan in T20 World Cup game: Union Minister Ramdas Athawale
By PTI
PUNE: Union Minister Ramdas Athawale on Tuesday slammed Pakistan for the spurt in terror activities in Jammu and Kashmir, including targeted killings of migrant labourers, and said India must have an ‘aar paar ki ladaai’ with its neighbour to set things right.
He also said India should not play its scheduled T20 World Cup match against Pakistan on October 24 in order to teach the latter a lesson.
“If Pakistan does not stop its activities in the (J-K) Valley, then there has to be an aar paar ki ladaai (all out war to settle things once and for all). In J-K, attacks are taking place on migrant labourers, local Kashmiri Pandits are being targeted. It is Pakistan’s ploy to not allow development in the Valley,” the Union Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment told reporters.
“By resorting to such militant attacks, there is an attempt to spread fear among the workers who are coming to the Valley from UP and Bihar. But the Centre will not fall prey to such tactics and a strategy is being formed to end militancy. There is need to conduct another surgical strike against Pakistan, which needs to vacate PoK and stop terror activities,” the minister added.
Queried on the upcoming T20 match between the two nations, Athawale said India should not play Pakistan, adding that he would express his opinion on this matter to BCCI secretary Jay Shah.
Speaking about other issues, the RPI(A) leader said the Supreme Court had allowed states to take a decision on reservations in promotions, but states were taking the “opposite decision”.
“We appeal to the states to allow reservation for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in promotions. We also want the Centre to come up with a law in the regard,” the minister said.
He said his party was also in favour of a caste-base census, though the government’s stand was that such an exercise may increase casteism in the country, he said.
“A caste-based census will give us the population count of communities, and this will help bring in welfare schemes for them in a better way,” Athawale said.
He rejected NCP chief Sharad Pawar’s allegations that the Centre was using probe agencies under its command to target opposition parties and leaders.
“These agencies are under the Centre but they function independently. The government is not telling them whom to target,” he added.
