The right offensive has started! The government has decided to cancel the Indo-Pak hockey championship starting from 16th April. It is an attempt to set the clock back. People in both countries want peace and cordial relations. Both countries are facing enormous challenges within and without. Neither can afford confrontation. Sports offer an opportunity to restore a semblance of sanity in the beleaguered polity. Both teams enjoy immense popularity in both countries,yet the governments in both countries are playing into the hands of the hardliners.
Even at the height of the cold war both USA& USSR showed enough sagacity to maintain sporting links between both countries!
I earnestly appeal to the people of both countries to pressurize their respective governments to de-link sports from politics!
