The Indian government and media ensure complete black out of Pakistan cricket and its telecast in India. Furthermore, they have also ensured and used all dirty tactics to cause maximum damage to Pakistan cricket.
And for touring Pakistan, none of the Indian sports teams are allowed to visit Pakistan on the pretext of security. But at the same time, India gives no reason to boycott our players from IPL and not inviting Sialkot Stallions from Champions League Cricket T20 Tournament.
Actually, what India and USA want is an uninterrupted land route via Pakistan, for India to Afghanistan, after the withdrawal of foreign forces from that occupied country, so that to keep the influence of Taliban forces, to the minimum possible level. But for such a huge favour, both US and India don’t want to give any concessions, which will bring peace and stability to Pakistan.
As such, it is incumbent upon the government of Pakistan, as minimum dignity levels and standards require that TV channels should be ordered forthwith to stop telecasting any Indian sporting event, including IPL matches underway these days till such time India behaves and responds like a friendly and peaceful neighbour. Moreover, Pakistan must demand it’s pound of flesh from the US and India.
