We want revenge, not cricket against Pak!

We want revenge, not cricket against Pak!

As a cricket lover, I would definitely like to see some action on the field but currently there are important issues to sort out as an Indian. There is no point in sending across the Indian team for a Cricket tour of Pakistan. Any cricketing ties with the neighbouring nation should be suspended because of the recent terror attacks in Mumbai which clearly have proved the involvement of Pakistan. I believe that we should temporarily boycott our neighbours in all walks of life; infact when the Indian Government is protesting by not continuing with the peace talks then anything else between the two nations is secondary. Let the Indian government get some words converted into action from Islamabad, in particular regarding the handing over of the most wanted terrorists and criminals along with dismantling of all terror bases which were aimed at causing destruction in India.

We, Indians have shown enough patience with Pakistan. There have been plenty of reports about unprovoked firing coming in from the Pakistani side which often saw ceasefire violations. Also there has been cover fire from the Pakistani Army regulars given to aid the infiltration of terrorists into the Indian side. Everybody knows that there are number of terror camps running across in the Pakistan Occupied Kashmir which have been the cause of destruction in the Indian Territory. Yet, we have been continuing with our peace processes for years together and only using diplomatic pressures on Pakistan whenever possible. It is not that India cannot engage in a war with Pakistan and cause irreparable damage. War is the worst solution to any issues simply because of the presence of mass nuclear weapons. Lakhs of lives are at risk whenever there is a nuclear threat. Even after the attack, we get to see humanity suffer from the after effects of a nuclear attack for ages together. An example for all this is of course Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

As an Indian citizen, I feel it is not fair to keep the lives of so many of our soldiers in stake for a possible attack on Pakistan. Yes, instead of a war, the better thing is for the government and all the administrators to chalk out a strategy of closing all the terror camps in Pakistan territory. That would require India to convince the United States and other countries to act together and build a lot of pressure on Pakistan to destroy all these cruel terrorist bases. Now if there needs to be some military involvement, so be it, the soldiers will need to battle it our for the country and the citizens should come ahead in contributing whatever they can to protect the interests of India. We did that during the Kargil War through some generous monetary contributions and if a similar situation arises now, India should be willingly ready. Lets hope the Indian Government take the public sentiment seriously atleast this time. We are not going to let any more terror attacks on us go unanswered!

For now, let us stop the Pakistanis from entering our land and get rich with our money. Stop all cricketing ties now and in the future with Pakistan until these bigger issues gets solved. Sometimes, we have to mix Sports with Politics! There is no point in giving huge bucks for the Pakistani players in the IPL, ICL or any other fields of life when we are getting something hostile in return from their nation. Here, there is a problem in our hands. The BCCI and the Pakistan Cricket Board have been allies; both need each other’s support to guard the interests of their players and the sub-continent. The BCCI thus can so easily send the Indian team across to Pakistan and continue maintaining the ties with the PCB. It is now important to see that the BCCI strictly goes by the Government’s guidelines and keep the country ahead of some monetary gains or any other interests. Let’s have some patience and hope that we get everything sorted out before thinking of a cricket match against Pakistan.
