The extreme Hindutva party Shiv Sena is against the participation of Bangladeshi cricketers in the Indian Premier League (IPL) matches.
Modi’s aggressive and hateful attitude continues in the field of sports as well. On the political, defense and global diplomacy front, India has once again turned sports into politics.
After the criticism of Pakistan, now the criticism of Bangladesh has also come under the prejudice of Indian extremist Hindus.
Shiv Sena president Neeraj Sethi announced in Haryana that Bangladeshi players will not be allowed to play matches in India.
Allegations of harassment of women cricketers in Bangladesh, committee of inquiry further back
According to Neeraj Sethi, Shiv Sena has decided that Bangladeshi players will not play IPL matches in India.
To further antagonize India, Neeraj Sethi even threatened to ban Bangladesh from further matches. The Shiv Sena debacle gave a clear picture of the ugly mess of Indian politics being played out on the world stage.
Modi further tarnished the reputation of the gentleman’s game and the rapidly declining IPL as Hindutva. The promotion of hateful politics in the field of sports has revealed to the world the brutal extremist face of India.
