Why cricket with Pakistan....

BCCI has given an invitation to Pakistan to play 2 T20 and 3 One Days in India in December.But why India wants to play cricket with a nation which has backed terrorism against India.

Shiv Sena supremo Mr Balasaheb Thackeray is absolutely right in his comments that Pakistan should not be allowed and invited to play cricket with India. When a nation is working against our country under the shadow of terrorism is it justified, that BCCI invites Pakistan to play in India, only to earn money due to public interest throughout the nation.

Mr Thackeray has written in his newspaper Samana on basis of the information from another newspaper Telegraph . He says " The way Abu Jundal is treated in Delhi jail has to be taken into account, Jundal is not an ordinary criminal , but is a deadly terrorist, he is given all VIP facility like air conditioned cell,television, and is treated with best non vegetarian food like mutton biryani and other delicious food of his choice"  When poor people don't have food to eat,our government, succumbs to the demands of a terrorist.

We already have Kasab and Afzal Guru who have been given death sentence, staying very comfortably in our jails, and improving their health day after day.Till date Indian government has spent 50 crores on Kasab and 10 crores on Afzal Guru and also Abu Salem is enjoying the hospitality of Indian jails comfortably without worrying an treat on his life. Jundal has confessed that the control room which was made to track the  26/11 attack had a military official .

Pakistan cricket had sent a suggestion a week back to Indian board to start the matches , and BCCI without any hesitation and thought accepted the offer. This has reasons to ponder that no nation is ready to go to Pakistan and play matches. After the terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan team in Lahore, when it toured Pakistan in 2009, no cricket playing country is ready to play in Pakistan.Hence the Pakistan Cricket Board is in financial trouble and needs cricket matches to get funds. The only bailout for Pakistan Board is matches between India & Pakistan, which will fill the coffers of both the countries.

Unless Pakistan stops the notorious activities of terrorism against India, its not in the interest of the nation to embarace Pakistani cricketers. Recall a statement made by Shahid Afridi after losing the World Cup encounter at Mohali he said at Lahore Airport " Indian people are not as loving as we are " whereas Indian Government had given the upmost facility and hospitality to them
