The TMC MP said that when a nation wages a proxy war, there is no neutral ground.”There is no cricket pitch wise enough to wash off the blood of our martyrs”, he said.”Our Tricolour flies high not because of the bat and ball, but because of the unmatched courage and valour of our armed forces. We honour our cricketers, and I deeply respect the game. But as a nation, we revere our soldiers.Those who stand guard while we cheer in stadiums, those who bleed while others play”, he said in the post.Banerjee also said, “That extending a handshake to a nation that fires bullets across our borders is not diplomacy – it’s a bloody betrayal.””Let justice, not entertainment, be our goal. If there is to be a match with Pakistan, let it be fought at the Line of Control (LoC) and let Pakistan-occupied J&K be the only trophy we seek”, he said.He added, “Anything less is an insult to our martyrs and an injustice and betrayal to the victims of Pahalgam. Period”.
