Government sources have advised against any hurried decision to boycott India's World Cup 2019 match with Pakistan as a reaction to the Pulwama terrorist attack. After the attack, which witnessed the death of over 40 CRPF personnel, there have been calls from many quarters not only to boycott the World Cup match, but also to seek Pakistan's ban from the tournament. However, Government sources said that could act against India. “We should not get isolated in order to isolate Pakistan,” the sources told NDTV.



“By not playing against Pakistan, we will be giving them a walk-over,” they said, referring to the two points India will lose if they don't field a team for the match.

“Punitive action can be taken against us,” the sources further added. “ICC can even impose ban on BCCI.

“There is still lot of time. We should not react in hurry,” they further added.

Cricketers including Harbhajan Singh have asked for a cricketing boycott of Pakistan.

"Pakistan has been promoting cross-border terrorism and this attack was unbelievably shocking," said Harbhajan Singh, whose 417 Test wickets are the second highest for an off-spinner. Pakistan has denied any role in the attack.

India, one of the World Cup favourites, would at the very least forfeit the match points if they boycott the group game to be played in Manchester. But Harbhajan Singh said this would not matter.

"I don't care about losing points as the Indian team is powerful enough to win the World Cup without playing Pakistan," Harbhajan Singh told India Today on Monday.

Do we ever learn of not embrassing ourselves????

Some time...i would like to say to my people in media room in tv channel....Every one in India do not allign with your thoughts..All of us are not hell bent on fighting a war with any one....Avoiding a war is not sign of weakness...Rather it is a sign of maturity....

Whoever give the idea to ban Pakistan from cricket world is completely overestimating our position in global world..

Its being rumored in higher circles that the southern buisiness tycoon Mr srinivasan was ousted from BCCI by powerful people and now one of the most important persons controlling BCCI indirectly is D company head dawood.

Harbhajan Singh who?


Sikhs are nice to Pakistan...why is he proving to be Sick. Maybe he has to show extra loyalty to India and earn some bucks and goodwill, just as Muslims in India/minorities have to prove their loyalty to India every time, in these type of events like Pulwama.

Sane points, some hope here...let's sanity prevails.


Have observed it, earlier India was very sentimental about getting good positives vibes in intl' forums, and from Pakistan public as well about India being tolerant state, Pakistanis were respected in music programs in India, other engagements, in the last governments.

Now there has been a total moral bankruptcy in India by the Modi BJP govt. Now they have to show hatred for Pakistan so as to get the electorates from hardliners and other masses.

Earlier they would have lost the support...now they gets the support by these cheap low brow gestures. This is RSS's Modi ultimate homecoming.
