Should India involve in bilateral sports events with Pakistan?
“As far as international and versatile events are concerned, we are led by practices of international sports bodies and the interest of our own athletes.”“Indian teams and individual players will participate in international events, which also have teams or players from Pakistan. Similarly, Pakistani players and teams will be able to participate in such multilateral events organized by India.”This development occurs in the middle of the growing public reaction to the match of India vs Pakistan in the Asian Cup. The controversy stems from a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, 22 April, in which 26 tourists were killed by weapons that are expected to be associated with Pakistani militants.In response to India, the Sindoor surgery did this and focused on terrorist networks via the control line and deeper in Pakistan. As a result of this operation, the tension between the two neighboring countries continued to rise.The Ministry also stressed in the document that they were working to make India more attractive for the main sports events. The government makes it easier for athletes and sports officials to enter the country. International sports body officials can now get special visas for multiple entrances that last up to five years. This makes it easier for them to travel to India and India.This policy also ensures that the head of international sports organizations will receive proper treatment when visiting India. They will receive a standard protocol and courtesy, after established practices. This approach helps India to maintain good relations with global sports authorities while protecting its national interests.“It is also important to take into account the emergence of India as a trustworthy place for hosting international sports events. Indian teams and individual players will therefore participate in international events, which also have teams or players from Pakistan. Similarly, Pakistani players and teams will participate in India,” Myas said.“For the placement of India as a preferred goal for organizing international sports events, a visa process for athletes, team officials, technical staff and bearers of international sports management offices will be simplified,” Myas added.
