India vs Pakistán no debería suceder en la Copa Asia 2025, el ex ganador de la Copa del Mundo deja clara la postura

There has been a lot of debate going on in the country, over the upcoming India vs Pakistan encounter, in the Asia Cup 2025. Some feel, at least on the Pakistani side, that the match should go on, while here it is completely the reverse. The general sentiment is, there should be no match between the two sides, given after what had happened in Pahalgam, and India’s tough response.

Since then, a lot has been said by the Pakistani cricketers. Now, former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has expressed his views. “They need to understand what is important and what is not. This is as simple as that. For me, humare desh ka wo jawan jo sarhad par khada hua hai, unki families jo kayi baar unko nahi dekh paati hain, unki shahadat ho jaati hai, wo ghar wapas nahi laut paate hain — unki itni badi sacrifice hoti hai hum sabke liye. Toh ye to bahut chhoti si baat hai ki hum ek cricket match na chhod sakein,” Harbhajan told the Times of India.

In fact, Bhajji went on to say that neither the Pakistani statements should be given any importance, nor should the Indian players be shaking hands with the Pakistanis. “Are they that important? Are they that important that every news channel has to give weightage to them? When you have boycotted them, when you don’t want to talk to them, then why show them here? This is the duty of the media — to stop this. They shouldn’t be adding fuel to the fire,” said Harbhajan.

“As I said, cricketers shouldn’t be shaking hands with the Pakistan players, but the media shouldn’t be showing them and their reactions on television, either. They are sitting in their country and can say whatever they want, but we shouldn’t be highlighting them,” he added.
