Be it on the playing field or in war, India is always victorious says Maharashtra BJP

Mumbai Sept 15 (UNI) "Indian cricketers defeated Pakistan in the Asia Cup with a brilliant victory. Whether it is on the field of play or on the battlefield, India always wins. Indian soldiers eliminated Pakistani terrorists through 'Operation Sindoor' and defeated them, and Indian cricketers disgraced Pakistan on the field. But Sanjay Raut was deeply saddened by India's victory," said Navnath Ban, the media department head of the Bharatiya Janata Party here today.
He was speaking at a press conference held at the state office. Ban took a harsh swipe at Raut, who had made an offensive statement alleging that the India-Pakistan match was being fixed and said, "We spit on the match. Ban said that India's victory in the match is the country's pride. Whereas Raut made a vile allegation that Rs. 1.5 lakh crore were gambled in yesterday's match.
How dare Mr. Raut make such childish and ridiculous allegations? Raut must have bet on Pakistan's victory, which is why he is disappointed when Pakistan lost. While sarcastically asking how much money was lost in betting yesterday, Mr. Ban said that if India had lost, Raut would have definitely celebrated by bursting firecrackers. The mighty players have defeated Pakistan and Mr. Raut is busy insulting the players by using offensive language like 'spitting'. Who gave Raut the right to 'spit' on the India-Pakistan match? Mr. Ban also warned that if you spit on the match, 140 crore people will not hesitate at all to spit on you.
