India and BCCI must apologise over chemical attack on the captain of visiting Pakistani blind cricket team in India.
India has a history of terrorism with visiting Pakistani cricketers. In the ’60s, the finger of Pakistani legendary batsmen Hanif Muhammad was cut during the team’s tour of India and no one got punished.
Now India has resorted to chemical terrorism against the captain of blind Pakistani cricket team’s captain, Zeeshan Abbasi, with a conspiracy to murder, by killing him with acid in disguise of drinking water in a bottle served at breakfast in a five star hotel.
However, more shameful is the reaction of Indian media, which is calling it as an accident. And more abhorrent is the silence of Indian government, BCCI and the ICC. Under the circumstances, the England cricket team members, touring India, are advised to exercise extra caution during their stay in India, as they are touring a country that can go to any length to punish the visiting players, if they are getting a resounding drubbing in the matches.
The government of Pakistan and PCB must demand an immediate apology from the Indian government and the BCCI, failing which the impending tour of our cricket team must be cancelled (else our team must take along all its food and drink requirements from Pakistan) on the grounds of un-precedence life threatening and most probably, deliberate security breach.
The FICA (Federation of International Cricketers Association) must also take cognizance of this chemical attack on a Pakistani cricketer, before other foreign players are targeted with food poisoning.
