Srinagar, October 26, 2021 (PPI-OT):Kavita Krishnan, rights activist and member of the Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist) has lambasted the Indian cricket team for not speaking up about Shami being singled out after loss to Pakistan cricket team in T20 World Cup match in United Arab Emirates.
“[The] silence is not wilful ignorance, it is worse than that. Who were they taking a knee for? The American players have risked their careers to take that position,” she told media. “Why can’t you tell your own government that Muslim lives matter and Kashmiri lives matter?”
Krishnan said the BLM movement was against the police brutality against the Blacks. “Then why can’t Indian players speak on the police brutality against Muslims?” she asked. “Posturing for others may be a fashionable thing to do, but it is moral bankruptcy.”
