These days, from the streets to Parliament, questions are being raised about the government's stance on India's participation in the Asia Cup.

Why Did the Government Soften Its Stance in the Matter of Asia Cup?

The government is being reminded of its statement at the time of the Pahalgam incident that water and blood cannot flow together. In such a situation, the question is whether blood and cricket can go together?

The second big question is the statement of Lt Gen Anil Chauhan that Operation Sindoor is not over yet... then why cricket with Pakistan?

There are two big reasons for the government softening its stance on this matter. The first is that cricket has been included in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Obviously, this game has now become an Olympic sport. Now the BCCI will also have to respect the rules of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The IOC completely works according to the Olympic Charter, in which it is clearly written that sports should not be disrupted due to religion, politics, apartheid, or any other reason. Here, the examples of Kuwait and Malaysia are relevant. Kuwait was banned by the IOC for not giving visas to Israeli players in the World Cup shooting.
