‘Mufti should be sent to mental asylum for criticising Indian cricket team jersey’

New Delhi: Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Monday lashed out at former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti, saying she should be sent to a mental asylum for blaming the Indian cricket team’s jersey for their defeat in the World Cup match against England.
“Why did Pakistan lose even after wearing their green jersey? Mehbooba Mufti should be sent to a mental asylum for drawing such conclusion” Raut told ANI.
On Sunday, Mufti had said India’s new jersey was the reason behind the team conceding a 31-run defeat to hosts England.
“Call me superstitious but I’d say it’s the jersey that ended India’s winning streak in the #ICCWorldCup2019” Mufti tweeted.
The comment drew sharp criticism from politicos, who said Mufti was creating an unnecessary controversy.
“An unnecessary controversy has been created around the orange cricket jersey. Orange is also a part of our culture and one of the colours in our national flag. I am sure that India will bring back the world cup” said Congress MP Praful Patel.
