Maharashtra minister Nitesh Rane criticised Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray for opposing the upcoming India-Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 match. "Aaditya will watch the India-Pakistan match secretly, wearing a burqa," he said, adding, "If he wears a burqa and talks in that voice, who would know it is Aaditya?" Furthermore, Rane mockingly said "Pakistan zindabad", implying Thackeray would say it.
