The next edition of Asia Cup (Asia Cup 2023) is to be hosted by Pakistan next year. However, a controversy started regarding this when Asian Cricket Council (ACC) President Jai Shah asked to get it out of Pakistan. Jai Shah had said that this tournament would be shifted out of Pakistan. After this, BCCI officials also said that something will be clear only after consulting the central government. Now India’s Foreign Minister S Jaishankar has given a clear message to the neighboring country.
If someone keeps a gun.. (S Jaishankar)
Foreign Minister S Jaishankar said in a TV channel program, ‘Tournaments keep coming and you are aware of the government’s stand. Let’s see what happens. This is a complex matter. Would you talk to me if I put a gun to your head? If your neighbor openly supports terrorism. There is no secret about who the leaders are, where the camps have been set up.
Jaishankar also spoke on cross-border terrorism
S Jaishankar said, ‘We should never think that cross-border terrorism is a common issue. Give me another example where one neighbor is sponsoring terrorism against the other. No such example will be found. In a way, it is not even unusual but extraordinary.
There is no bilateral series between India and Pakistan
Please tell that there has been no bilateral series between India and Pakistan for a long time. Pakistani players are not given a chance even in IPL. These two teams face each other only in ICC tournaments and Asia Cup. Recently matches were played between India and Pakistan in T20 World Cup and Asia Cup.
