Later, while smashing the TVs, he told the reporters that Pakistan continued to remain a state sponsor of terrorism and stressed that all ties with the neighbouring country should be cut off.
"We are sending donations to BCCI so that it learns a lesson; so that Jay Shah realises the mistake. We urge PM Modi to stop this match and not play with the feelings of women who lost their Sindoor. How will the sisters and mothers, who lost their loved ones in Pahalgam, watch this match?" Dubey questioned.
