PM Modi’s tweet on India’s win has confused the internet
People point out that his mention of Palagham Attack is insensitive
The backlash also built on earlier tensions, as Indian players have avoided shaking hands with their Pakistani counterparts throughout the season.“It was your measure of pride, history already records your humiliating defeats at Pakistan’s hands,” read another tweet. “No cricket match can rewrite that truth. Dragging war into sports only exposes desperation and disgraces the very spirit of the game.”
Some were left in disbelief that the Prime Minister could write that. “I even cross-checked thinking it’s a parody account, but it’s an official handle,” wrote an X user. “It just shows how low one can stoop. Shame!”
