Recently the Indian cricket board
BCCI held talks with the Pakistan Cricket Board to resume cricketing ties
between the two countries which were terminated over the rising tensions
between the two countries. The indo-pak series was to be held in December tentatively
in Sri Lanka. Indo-pak match is known for its power packed entertainment, it is
not just a game for the two arch rivals but a matter of pride. Millions of
people from both sides watch these matches with great enthusiasm.
Pakistan is known for its
proxy war on India through terror outfits. Pakistan’s ISI and the Pakistan army
fund and train terrorists to carry out terror attacks in India and one such
worst terror attack happened in Mumbai (26/11 Mumbai attacks). Innocent people
were killed, brave men died fighting the terrorists but still the mastermind
behind these attacks Hafiz Saeed is happily living in Pakistan with high
security provided to him by the country. In addition, Pakistan has been
provoking India through cross border infiltration and our brave jawans are dying
defending the borders.
Why is BCCI so desperate to have
india-pak series? Will this cricket
diplomacy help Pakistan to mend its ways? The answer is ‘no’. India has always
extended olive branch to Pakistan through countless talks and dialogue but
nothing has changed and Pakistan continues with its same old mischief. India
must out rightly reject this cricket diplomacy; we can’t afford to play a game
over the graves of our dead soldiers. India has got nothing lose. Inspite of
several dossiers on 26/11 Pakistan continues to live in denial mode and no
action taken on Hafiz Saeed. If BCCI goes ahead with indo-pak series then it
is nothing but an insult to the 26/11 martyrs.
Pakistan is in dire need of
playing cricket with India. After the terror attacks on Sri Lankan team, no
country has come forward to play on its soil. Pakistan cricket team is jobless
and the cricket board has gone bankrupt with no revenues. Pakistan cricket
board wants to revive itself through this indo-pak series. This is where India
must hit hard on Pakistan by rejecting this cricket proposal, must send a
strong message and that message is no cricket until the terror network is
dismantled.
Cricket is surely a gentle man’s game but this gentleman attitude won’t work with Pakistan. After the recent terror attacks on Paris (which bears strong resemblance with 26/11 attacks), France has bombed the ISIS establishments in Syria. We don’t need to bomb our neighbor instead we must have a strong foreign policy towards it. Glad that the government of India has not given its nod for the series after a strong opposition from its people
Point and Counter Point. Good Spirit.
