October 17: The clamour for cancellation of India vs Pakistan match in the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup is increasing amid recent killings in Jammu and Kashmir, where several civilians especially non-locals and those belonging to the minority communities have lost their lives.
Since Saturday, four non-local labourers have been shot dead in several incidents in the valley in what police claims are “terror” incidents.
Today evening, three labourers were shot at in south Kashmir’s Kulgam. Two succumbed to the injuries while the third one is being treated at a local hospital.
Amid this Union Minister Giriraj Singh as per media reports has called for the cancellation of the upcoming cricket match between India and Pakistan in the T20 World Cup. The two arch rivals are facing each other on October 24.
“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. The relations are not good right now,” the minister said as per news reports.
