New Delhi, Sep 29: Congress leader Supriya Shrinate sparked a major political controversy on Monday by accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of disrespecting soldiers after he compared India’s cricket victory over Pakistan in the Asia Cup to Operation Sindoor — a recent military strike carried out by the Indian Armed Forces.
In a video message posted on social media, Shrinate called the comparison deeply offensive and described Indian cricketers as “money-grabbing.” She alleged that celebrating a cricket match while the nation is still grieving terror attacks like the one in Pahalgam is “unpatriotic.” According to her, “PM Modi has crossed all limits by equating soldiers who sacrifice their lives with cricketers who play for money.”
