Naqvi took to X to accuse Indian media of spreading “fabricated propaganda.” “Indian media thrives on lies, not facts.
The row began on September 28 after India defeated Pakistan to claim a record-extending ninth Asia Cup title in Dubai.
But when Naqvi stepped onto the stage, Team India declined to take the trophy from him.
In a television interview, the 1983 World Cup-winning captain said, “I think when they (Team India) didn’t shake hands, it was fine.
Our job was to make an impact, which the Indian team did – not once but three times.”The remarks triggered fierce backlash online and from public figures.
