Ahmedabad: Welcoming of Pakistani cricketers with local Hindu girls dancing for them at Hyatt Regency hotel here has invoked strong responses on social media platforms. Lot of netizens have criticized the Board of Cricket Control of India (BCCI) for this in strong words, while some have chosen to blame the hotel management for overdoing for the cricket team of an enemy nation when our soldiers died protecting the nation against Pakistan in Kashmir and elsewhere. Lot of netizens recall Balasaheb Thackeray who would not let happen cricket with Pakistan in India and for that, his cadres would even dig pitches in the stadiums. Netizens also point out that Indian Hindus are such a naïve people, no wonder they were ruled by foreign invaders for centuries, and no wonder why anti-Hindu political parties still get votes. India can never be Israel and will remain a soft state forever.

The World Cup match between India and Pakistan is scheduled for this Saturday, October 14. The Pakistan cricket team arrived in the city on Wednesday evening. Pakistani players were welcomed at the Hyatt Regency, with girls performing dances as they arrived. The video of this went viral after Pakistani Cricket’s official handle posted it.

It is noteworthy that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had earlier informed the ICC that Pakistan was not willing to play in Ahmedabad, and the venue for their match should be anywhere but Ahmedabad. However, the ICC denied that request, and the match was scheduled at the world’s largest cricket ground, Narendra Modi Stadium, here in Motera.

Imagine Israelis welcoming Hamas atankis like this..

Be it @DrSJaishankar with Bhutto during SCO’s FM meet or @narendramodi during G20 Summit with Trudeau, 🇮🇳 showed better approach to deal with enemy & hostile nations but @JayShah led @BCCI is literally rolling out red carpet for 🇵🇰 cricketers while they’re supporting terrorism.

Nach Gana going on to welcome Pakistan cricket team at the hotel. India can never become a strong force like Israel with such an attitude.

Dhanya ho BCCI, not a word against jihadi Rizwan dedicating match win to Gaza ppl and then all this…🤦‍♀#INDvsPAK #CWC2023 #BCCI pic.twitter.com/r4ENRkXTGh

While it’s crucial to extend a warm welcome to our guests, it’s equally important for BCCI and hotel management to show respect for our armed forces. The dancers might have been avoided as a mark of honor for our armed forces who face terror attacks from Pakistan daily. 🇮🇳… pic.twitter.com/220yRKh10A

C C:-@majorgauravarya –On notice board, what Major Gaurav Arya says is very true !! Those are not true “Nationalists” (including BCCI) who go to see “India-Pak” matches when our Jawans are killed by the same Paki terrorists !! pic.twitter.com/iugh3bOrrb

See in video how Pakistanis would actually wish to enter the hotel in India? Lest we forget Uri, Pulwama, Parliament Attack, Mumbai attack and many more https://t.co/tnlTMgweyl

BCCI can't ban Pakistan in WC. They came, it's ok to give them Fine Stay. But

– Grand Ceremony before Ind vs Pak Match

– Made Indian Women dance for Pakis today

– And Gave Matches at Hyderabad

Imagine Israel inviting the Gazan football team to play in Jerusalem today and the king David hotel doing special Yemeni Jewish welcome dances for them and getting Gal Gadot to dance before the match. India is 200x the size of Israel but with 1/200th the self respect.

The person who has the most chance of defeating the BJP in the 2024 general elections is not Rahul Gandhi. It’s Jay Shah. His overdoing everything for the Pakistan team can be weaponised powerfully by the Congress if it wakes up from its intoxication by wokery.
