'Operation Sindoor': The Tweet That Ignited a Firestorm After India's Win
From 'Operation Sindoor' to 'How was your Sunday, neighbors?', the trolling of Pakistan after India's Asia Cup win has been relentless, and we've got all the juicy details.
The cricket world is still reeling from India's epic Asia Cup victory over Pakistan, but the drama is far from over. In a move that has sent the internet into a full-blown meltdown, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and former cricketer Irfan Pathan have taken to Twitter to deliver a series of savage trolls that have left Pakistani fans fuming.
The first shot was fired by Pathan, who, in a not-so-subtle dig at Pakistan's loss, tweeted, "How was your Sunday, neighbors? I know I can't hear you anyway." The tweet, which was accompanied by a winking emoji, was a masterclass in shade, and it quickly went viral.
But it was PM Modi's tweet that truly set the internet on fire. In a move that has been described as both "genius" and "reckless," Modi tweeted, "'Operation Sindoor' on the games field, the outcome is the same. India won. Congrats to our cricketers."
The "Operation Sindoor" reference is a direct callback to a recent military operation, and it has been interpreted by many as a deliberate attempt to rub salt in Pakistan's wounds. The tweet has been met with a mixture of praise and condemnation, with some calling it a "masterstroke" of political trolling and others accusing Modi of "politicizing" the sport.
"This is a new low," one Pakistani journalist wrote on Twitter. "To use a military operation to taunt a cricket team is a disgrace."
But Indian fans are loving it. "This is the kind of energy we need," one fan wrote. "We're not just winning on the field; we're winning off the field, too."
The trolling has not been limited to just Pathan and Modi. All over social media, Indian fans are reveling in their team's victory, and they're not being shy about it. From memes and jokes to outright taunts, the trolling of Pakistan has been relentless.
But what does this all mean for the future of the India-Pakistan rivalry? Has the line between sports and politics been irrevocably blurred? And what will happen the next time these two teams meet on the cricket field?
One thing is for sure: the next India-Pakistan match is going to be even more intense than the last one. And we, for one, can't wait to see it.
What do you think of the trolling? Was it all in good fun? Or did it cross a line? Let us know in the comments.
