Can blood, revenue flow together: Aaditya Thackeray slams BCCI on India-Pak match

A political clash has erupted over the India versus Pakistan cricket match in the upcoming Asia Cup. UBT Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray has written to Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, urging the government to intervene in what he termed the BCCI's "shameful act" of scheduling the game. In a post on PlatformX, Thackeray questioned the board's priorities, stating, "Blood and water cannot flow together but for the BCCI, blood and revenue can flow together." This statement modifies a comment made by Prime Minister Modi regarding the Indus Treaty after the Pahelgam attack. Thackeray highlighted the sensitivity of the issue, especially following the Belgaum attack, and questioned if financial considerations were being placed above national sentiment and the sacrifices of soldiers.
