Days before India vs Pakistan match at the T20 World Cup 2021, Union Minister Giriraj Singh urged BCCI to reconsider the match, in view of recent terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir. Rural and Panchayati Raj Minister said that cricket should not be played with Pakistan, as the relations between both countries are not good, and demanded to cancel the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the past few days, there\u2019s been a series of targeted killings of civilians, especially non-locals in Jammu and Kashmir. On Sunday, two migrant workers from Bihar were killed after terrorists gunned them down. While on Friday, a carpenter and a panipuri hawker, hailing from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, were shot dead by terrorists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While interacting with the media, Union Minister Giriraj Singh said that the match between India and Pakistan in the coming days needs to be given another thought in the wake of the attacks happening on Hindus in Jammu and Kashmir that the relations are not good with Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adding to this, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut also urged BCCI to cancel the match and said, he has always said not to keep any type of relations with Pakistan that our people are being killed and you are talking about cricket? \u201cShiv Sena has been in the forefront of opposing Indo-Pak cricket matches amid strife – most notably when they dug up Mumbai’s Wankhede pitch in 1991, repeated the same in Delhi’s Ferozshah Kotla in 1999 and in UP’s Agra in 2003,\u201d added Raut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
