Sir, would you like to opine whether foreign commentators can discuss the performance of Indian cricket team or will it amount to interference with our internal affairs?
India’s sovereignty cannot be compromised. External forces can be spectators but not participants.
Indians know India and should decide for India. Let's remain united as a nation.
