Political storm brews in Punjab over India-Pakistan Asia Cup match

Chandigarh, Sep 14 (UNI) Tensions are running high in Punjab ahead of today's high-profile India-Pakistan T20 match in the Asia Cup 2025 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, with opposition leaders slamming the central government for allowing the fixture amid recent terror strikes. The controversy has ignited a fierce political debate, drawing sharp criticism from state Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal.

Opposition figures have questioned the decision to proceed with the game, citing the Pathankot attack in 2016, the Pulwama incident in 2019, and the deadly Pahalgam assault on April 22, 2025.
