BJP leaders across the country hailed India’s dramatic victory over Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 final, calling it not just a cricketing achievement but a symbolic triumph of national pride and defiance.
Senior BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi described the win as a strong message to a nation that has long supported terrorism. “Our players not only dominated on the field but also gave a fitting response to Pakistan, which has become a supporter of terrorism. Today, this country is transformed. It is no longer a nation that tolerates terrorism while maintaining relations,” he said.
India defeated Pakistan in a thrilling contest at the Dubai International Stadium. Pakistan began strongly at 113/1 in 12.4 overs but collapsed to 146 all out in 19.1 overs, undone by Kuldeep Yadav’s brilliant 4/30. Chasing 147, India reached the target with two balls to spare, powered by Tilak Varma’s unbeaten 69 and Shivam Dube’s late fireworks, sealing their ninth Asia Cup title.
Reacting to the triumph, BJP MLA Rameshwar Sharma said the Indian team had once again upheld the nation’s honour on the global stage. “An Indian citizen fights for the unity and integrity of India, whether on the battlefield or the cricket pitch. We have defeated Pakistan not just once, but hundreds of times,” he declared.
Sharma also praised the Indian team’s bold refusal to accept the Asia Cup trophy and medals from ACC President Mohsin Naqvi, who also heads the Pakistan Cricket Board. “We had to show the world that we stand on the pitch not for awards, but for India’s pride. We stand on the pitch for the chants of victory for Mother India. India has won thousands of trophies and has become a world champion many times,” he said.
MLA Ratnakar Mishra echoed the sentiment, extending congratulations to both the team and the nation. “First of all, heartfelt wishes and congratulations to the Indian players who defeated Pakistan,” he said.
The emotional reactions from BJP leaders reflect the broader national mood, as India’s unbeaten campaign in the tournament culminated in a victory that blended sporting excellence with a symbolic show of strength. For many, the Asia Cup triumph is not just a cricketing milestone but a message of India’s resolve across arenas—from the pitch to diplomacy.
