Yati Narsinghanand threatens to disrupt India-Bangladesh cricket match in Delhi
New Delhi: Controversial Hindu religious leader Yati Narsinghanand Saraswati, known for his provocative speeches, has issued a warning to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), threatening to disrupt an upcoming cricket match between India and Bangladesh in the capital city. He cited recent political developments in Bangladesh and the alleged mistreatment of Hindus in the country as the reason behind his opposition to the match.
In his statement, Narsinghanand declared that he would not allow the India-Bangladesh cricket match to take place in Delhi. "The BCCI can conduct matches anywhere else in the country, but we will not allow them to host the match in Delhi as long as atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh continue," he said.
Narsinghanand Saraswati has a history of making inflammatory speeches, particularly against Muslims and women, and has often courted controversy for his extreme views. This recent declaration comes in the wake of his ongoing criticism of the political situation in Bangladesh, where he claims Hindus are being persecuted.
So far, the BCCI has not responded to Narsinghanand's threats. However, given the gravity of the situation, it is expected that security arrangements will be tightened in case the match goes ahead in Delhi.

Stalin claims DMK secured 1.54 crore votes
Chennai (PTI): DMK president M K Stalin on Tuesday, in a veiled reference to the TVK, claimed that the party that won additional constituencies has gained only 17.43 lakh more votes than the DMK.
He was referring to the April 23 Assembly polls where the DMK and its allies secured 74 seats, with the Dravidian party netting 59 constituencies.
In a statement, Stalin said, "the percentage difference in votes between us and them is just 3.52 per cent," in an apparent reference to the Vijay-led Tamilaga Vettri Kahzagam emerged victorious in the polls, the results of which were announced on Monday.
Claiming that the DMK alliance has secured 1.54 crore votes, Stalin said, "I consider each and every one of your votes as an invaluable token of trust".
Stating that DMK has been in power several times, he said "there is no victory we have not seen and there is no defeat we have not faced".
"Whether in victory or defeat, those who regard them equally and continue their journey toward their ideals are the comrades of the party", he said adding "you are the lifeblood and roots of the movement".
"The harvest of 1.54 crore votes is the fruit of your commitment", he said.
"What return can I offer for your hard work? With the feeling of being the chief worker, we will continue our journey," the DMK chief added.
Stalin said "if we are the ruling party, we will formulate schemes for the people. If we are the opposition party, we will fight for the people's demands. In that regard, now as a strong opposition party, we will continue to work for the people".
Asserting that the DMK will continue the journey of taking forward the policies of the century-old great Dravidian movement, protecting race, language, and nation, the DMK leader said "in our journey, I will not leave anyone behind. We will win again".
