Look I'm honestly not interested in starting another pointless argument on this topic. It's been done to death already. It's going to go back and forth with no useful discussion.
Point is, if you hate the BCCI getting political, perhaps don't infuse politics into a cricket tournament yourself. There's no point in organising a cricket tournament that's highly political and end up getting triggered after BCCI reacts to it by getting political as well. When every tom, dick and harry makes anti India statements one after another in official ceremonies of the league, how did you expect the BCCI to react to. Promote the league with advertisement slots during IPL matches? I mean, are you going to say with a straight face that the "aazadi" anthem has zero political connection to it..
The problem is Pakistani fans are ready to give endless moral lecturing about the BCCI mixing poltics with cricket but aren't ready to accept that the reverse is also sometimes true. At least some Indian fans, even if only a minority, criticise BCCI for its policy of boycotting Pakistan cricket. But Pakistani fans are too high on nationalism that nobody is ready to accept that it was the KPL which went political first. I understand this is a Pakistani forum and there's the obvious Pakistani bias that comes with it, but at least try viewing the issue objectively instead of getting emotional about it. If the KPL was just another cricket tournament like the PSL or the BBL or CPL, the BCCI would have no leg to stand on for acting against it. But when every other guy including the brand ambassador, Afridi, uses the league as a platform for making highly charged political statements directed against India, what did you expect the BCCI to do. At this point, there's zero use in continuing the back and forth political barbs honestly.
). I mean it's staring right in the face, I can only imagine bakhts pretending it's not there.
