Asia Cup 2025 / A tweet by Modi caused uproar in the neighboring country, Pakistan's HM and Defense Minister lost their composure.

Asia Cup 2025: India defeated Pakistan by five wickets in the final of the Asia Cup 2025 to win the title. This victory, India's third against Pakistan in the tournament, plunged cricket fans in the neighboring country into deep disappointment. The Indian team's impressive win created a stir not only on the field but also on social media, with a tweet by Prime Minister Narendra Modi sparking controversy.

PM Modi's tweet became the center of discussion

Late night after the match, PM Modi shared a post on the social media platform X congratulating the Indian team. He wrote, "Operation Sindoor on the field, the result is the same: India won... Congratulations to our cricketers." The tweet, which was seen as a reference to India's military operations, infuriated Pakistani leaders and fans. This tweet added fuel to the fire in Pakistan.

Sharp Reaction from Pakistani Ministers

PM Modi's tweet infuriated Pakistan's Home Minister and Asian Cricket Council (ACC) chief Mohsin Naqvi. In a controversial post on Instagram, Naqvi wrote, "If war is the measure of pride, then history has already recorded your humiliating defeat at the hands of Pakistan. No cricket match can change this truth. Dragging war into the game only shows desperation and is an insult to the spirit of the game." Many viewed his comment as an unfounded and emotional reaction.

Pakistan's Defense Minister Khawaja Asif also expressed his displeasure over the issue. He said that PM Modi's tweet was against the spirit of the game and could negatively impact peace and stability in South Asia.

History and the Truth of Operation Sindoor

Mohsin Naqvi's claims appear baseless when compared to historical facts. India decisively defeated Pakistan in the 1965 and 1971 wars. India also demonstrated its military might in the 1999 Kargil War. In the recent Operation Sindoor, India entered Pakistani territory and destroyed terrorist hideouts. Despite these historical facts, Naqvi's claim of India's "shameful defeat" only reflects his frustration.

Exuberance in India, Disappointment in Pakistan

The victory has sparked a wave of excitement among cricket fans in India. Indian fans are praising their team on social media, while the defeat has left cricket lovers in Pakistan in deep shock. This victory not only proved India's cricketing superiority but also highlighted the tensions between the two countries.
