Pak likely to pull out from hockey, squash events in India

In a tit-for-tat response, pakistan Sports Ministry has virtually prompted the Government to pull out from upcoming sporting events in India, who decided against touring Pakistan for a cricket series citing a diplomatic stand-off following the recent Mumbai terror attacks .

Pakistan's Federal Secretary of Sports Ashraf Khan has described the situation as "so hot" and said it was not advisable for the players to tour India in the current circumstances.

Pakistan is scheduled to take part in a four-nation hockey series to be played in Chandigarh and Jalandhar next February after its squash team has a chance to defend Asian junior title in Chennai on January 16.

"Allowing our squash and hockey players to leave for India will be too risky at the moment as the gravity of the situation does not allow us to send our sports teams there," Ashraf was quoted as saying in the 'Dawn'.

Asked if security was a concern or it was a tit-for-tat response, Ashraf admitted that it was in reply to India scrapping its tour of Pakistan.


"The situation is so hot that I don't think it will be advisable for Pakistan team to tour India, particularly when Indians have refused to come to Pakistan. So, we have to look at that but yes, we have not taken final decision," he told a television channel.

"We have to take into account our foreign office; we have to take into account our political leadership and after that we will decide, but my personal view is that the present atmosphere is not conducive for such events," Adhraf said.

Ashraf said the decision would be made in a day or two.

"Maybe within a day or two (decision would be made). But these are my personal views. This scenario is not advisable (to tour India).

"We're sure Indian government will make fool-proof security arrangement but who knows, tempers are so hot... that anything can happen," he said.

When pointed out that England cricket team did not face any security problem, Ashraf said "there is difference between English team and Pakistan. You know the hype and relation between Pakistan and India is different from England and India."

A really sad news.pakistani teams won't tour India.What did we do to suffer this cruel fate..!!The situation is sooo bad.All Indians should start crying.We should all beg with pakistan to reverse this decision from being taken.We should ask for mercy.We should plead with them to pump in more terrorists and to create more Mumbai like terror situations,but pleaseee don't suspend sporting ties.We should tell them that we will welcome with both hands more and more hardcore pakistani terrorists and suicide squads and more and more attacks.But pleaseee,please don't suspend sporting ties,for God's sake...Why is the pakistani terrorists suffering trying to sneak in through border,sea routes and all.Let them come in PIA flights.India should give them landing permission in all major Indian cities so that it will be easy for them to 'do their job' and return.All pakis terrorists in Indian jail should be either freed or given VIP treatment.But please...sporting ties....please don't suspend it...
Now to be serious:
The most negligible and minimal thing that the Indian government should be doing is to not give pakistanis a chance to make such decisions like whether to come to India or not for sports events.Why should they even think whether they should allow their sporting teams to tour India or not?
India should tell them to get lost.Absolutely no sporting ties are needed as suggested even by our Great Viswanathan Anand.How can we think of playing with them,when their only aim is to kill Indians and to destroy India?Who knows how many LeT terror members will be there in their Hockey team....!!Even pakistani former cricketer Imran Khan,the so called crusader against terrorism is supporting the terror outfit LeT,we Indians thought till the other day that he was a pragmatic and reasonable voice..!!Stupid we..So all in all the simple question is why do we want to entertain murderers??
