Owaisi Asks- 'Is money more important than 26 lives?'
In his statement Owaisi stated that I ask the Prime Minister that when you said that blood and water cannot flow together, talks and terrorism cannot go together, then how much money will BCCI get from a cricket match, Rs 2000 crore, Rs 3000 crore? Is money worth more than the lives of our 26 citizens? AIMIM chief Owaisi said that we stood with those 26 citizens yesterday, are with them today and will stand with them tomorrow as well.
He further added that this decision to play the match is contrary to the government's stance of "no negotiation with terrorism".
