| India defeated Pakistan in the Champions Trophy match at Birmingham. Here are various reactions to this win: Pakistan Government denies that it ever sent a cricket team to Birmingham. It says the evidence provided by India is doctored. It challenges India to produce "unequivocal evidence" and not merely claim it won the match. NDTV has supported Pakistan's claim. Manishankar Aiyer claimed in fact Pakistan won the match. Arundhati Roy has claimed that whilst Prima Facie there is no evidence that India defeated Pakistan, if it did so, it was a gross violation of the rights of innocent Pakistanis. She plans to go to International Human Rights Commission for getting this investigated. Shashi Tharror has said it is an "exasperating farrago of distortions, misrepresentations&outright lies being broadcast by an unprincipled showman masquerading as a journalist". When the journalist tried to search for the meaning of Tharror's words, the computer crashed. Nidhi Razdan meanwhile ousted Sambit Patra from the debate when he claimed that Pakistan lost the match. Ravish Kumar could not be seen since the screen was kept black in mourning. Kejriwal said that if Pakistan lost, it was probably due to "hacking of the scoreboard" and challenged ICC to have a rematch. Prashant Bhushan plans to take this to Supreme Court at around 2 AM. Inzmam Ul Haq was asked about the match. All he could say was, "The boys played well." Rahul Gandhi said he would have to analyze the results and meditate before commenting. He is going to Bangkok for a month for the same purpose. Akhilesh Yadav, when asked about the match first wanted to know how many players from Gujarat were in the winning team. Arun Jaitley directly described the win as a result of demonetisation. Amit Shah said this win is a proof that the people want BJP government in 2019. Yogi Adityanath said Pakistan lost because it ate beef. Trump has sent a confusing tweet congratulating India. It strangely reads: "Covfefe" A correspondent tried to contact Arnab Goswami to know his reaction. He has since gone deaf, so we will never know Arnab's reaction. |
