The FIFA World Cup being held in the Islamic country Qatar has been embroiled in controversy. The controversy erupted after Qatar invited fugitive criminal Zakir Naik, who spewed venom against India, to the mega event. The BJP has strongly condemned Qatar's move. BJP spokesperson Savio Rodrigues on Tuesday appealed to the government, the Indian Football Association, and Indians visiting Qatar to boycott the FIFA World Cup.

BJP spokesperson Savio Rodrigues has said that giving such a platform to Zakir Naik at a time when the whole world is battling terrorism is like supporting terrorism and spreading hatred. Savio says that the FIFA World Cup is a big global event. People from many parts of the world are reaching to see this event. Not only this, but millions of people are also watching the FIFA World Cup on TV. In such a situation, providing such a platform to Zakir Naik is like spreading terror and hatred.
