Will cricket ties change between India, Pakistan? What foreign minister Jaishankar said
“If your neighbour openly promotes terror, will you talk to them? Our aim is to see how they can be brought out of the clutches of terror. It is an exceptional situation on the India-Pakistan border. But we hope they leave the path of terror,” the minister said.
As the two countries continue to be at opposing ends, can there be an exception made for cricket, a sport that equally excites the two nations? “You know our stand on cricket. We should never accept that a country has the right to sponsor terror. Unless we don’t delegitimize this, it will continue. So, there should be global pressure on Pakistan. The pressure won’t come unless the victims of terror don’t voice themselves. India should, in a way, lead the way because our blood is spilled,” Jaishankar said.
The minister also spoke about a host of other issues, including the skirmish in Galwan and the import of Russian oil despite the war in Ukraine.
