Support of the prayers of the Muslims in India was behind the victory !

Statement of Pakistan’s Home Minister Sheikh Rashid on Pakistan’s victory in the India-Pakistan cricket match

Editorial Comments

  • Why are Muslim organisations and religious leaders in India silent about this ? Or do they want to say that what Sheikh Rashid said is correct ?
  • If what Sheikh Rashid is saying is true, then there is a possibility of a second partition of India and a resurgence of violence. Looking at this, when will the Government as well as Hindu and other organisations wake up ?
  • Realise that Pakistan’s Home Minister is suggesting that the cricket match between India and Pakistan is a war between Hindus and Muslims. This shows his bigoted mentality.

Islamabad (Pakistan) – ‘Congratulations and best wishes to the Pakistan cricket team ! I salute the manner in which the Pakistan team defeated India. This is the victory of the Islamic people.


Congratulations to the Pakistan team and Muslim brothers too ! The prayers of the Muslim brothers in India were also with the Pakistan team. “Muslims from all over the world, not just in India, support the Pakistani team,” said Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, Pakistan’s Home Minister, in a video tweet. He made the remarks after Pakistan beat India by 10 wickets in the Twenty20 Cricket World Cup in Dubai on 24th October.
