No question of calling off Indo-Pak series: BCCI
December 18, 2012  10:33
The Board of Control for Cricket in India on Tuesday shot down BJP's demand of cancelling the Indo-Pak limited-overs cricket series in the wake of visiting Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik "insulting" India, insisting that the matches would be
held as scheduled. 

"There is no question of calling off the tour. All the arrangements have been made and the tour was planned much earlier. Politics should not be mixed with sports and the tour will go on," senior BCCI official and IPL Chairman Rajiv Shukla told PTI.

On Tuesday in the Parliament, the BJP had accused Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde of remaining silent by not responding appropriately to Malik, who triggered controversy by equating 26/11 Mumbai attack with Babri Masjid demolition and describing LeT terrorist Abu Jundal as an operative of Indian intelligence agency.

New Delhi has rubbished Malik's assertions.
