Let's not harp on what happened in past: Shinde on Pak tour

November 02, 2012 16:52

Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde today said the Pakistan cricket team's tour in the country next month should be welcomed. "Any player from anywhere can come to India and play here. We cannot restrict....We must have friendly relations....what has happened in the past, all the time we should not repeat it," Shinde said after the passing-out parade of IPS trainees at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy.

To a question about opposition of Shiv Sena and MNS to the tour, Shinde said, "Sportsmanship should be maintained. Cricket as a sport is certainly welcome. It should be free from politics."
