Business To Business, Bhubaneshwar, 14 September 2025: On Sunday, senior Congress leader KC Venugopal sharply criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party regarding the India-Pakistan cricket match in Dubai, accusing its leaders of fabricating "spurious narratives" surrounding patriotism.
Addressing reporters in Bhubaneswar as India contested Pakistan in an Asia Cup fixture—the first encounter between the two nations since the military conflict in May—Venugopal remarked, "These individuals (BJP members) speak of patriotism, yet they permit the Indian team to compete against Pakistan, which is hypocritical."
