The match should go on: Supreme Court
Let us tell you that the bench hearing this petition said, as quoted by Daily Mirror Online, “What is the hurry? There is a match, let it happen. The match is this Sunday, what can be done? The match is this Sunday? What can we do in this? Let it be. The match should go on.”
Let us tell you that this petition was filed by Urvashi Jain and three other law students, who argued that organizing a cricket match against Pakistan after the Pahalgam terrorist attack and Operation Sindoor would send a message contrary to national dignity and public sentiment.
This petition said, “The purpose of cricket between countries is to display harmony and friendship. But, after the Pahalgam terrorist attack and Operation Sindoor, when our people were martyred and our soldiers put everything at stake, playing with Pakistan sent the opposite message that while our soldiers are sacrificing their lives, we are celebrating the game with the same country, which is giving shelter to terrorists.”
