BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla, that flew to Pakistan to see the 2nd semi-final of the Champions Trophy 2025 in between New Zealand and South Africa at the famous Gaddafi Stadium, saw an old ft in Lahore, where there is an old samadhi of Lord Ram’s boy Lava.
Sharing the photos of his check out on X, Rajeev Shukla stated, “The name ‘Lahore’ is also derived from him (Lava). I had the opportunity to offer prayers there. Alongside me was Pakistan’s Home Minister, Mohsin Naqvi, who is overseeing the restoration of this samadhi. Mohsin had initiated this work during his tenure as chief minister.”
In an additional blog post, he specified, “Lahore’s municipal records state that the city was established in the name of Lord Ram’s son, Lava, while the city of Kasur was named after his other son, Kush.” “The Pakistan government also acknowledges this fact,” stated the BCCI vice-president.
Yesterday, Shukla stated it is “very categorical and clear” that resumption of reciprocal cricket in between India and Pakistan goes through the Indian federal government’s clearance.
Speaking to media in Pakistan, Shukla recognized that followers from both nations (India and Pakistan) wish to play reciprocal suits on each various other’s dirt and not at a neutral location.
“We (BCCI) keep our point in front of the government but they decide after their deliberations. When the government takes a decision, it is after considering a lot of aspects. It is their internal matter,” he stated.
