BJP leader opposes India vs Pak match in Dharamshala; writes letter to Modi

February 27, 2016 20:46

BJP's hanta Kumar dashed off a strong-worded letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi suggesting that the World T20 India vs Pakistan match should not be allowed at Dharamshala, headquarter of Kangra district -- a home to hundreds of valiant jawans, martyrs and ex-servicemen.

He feared that holding the match at Dharamshala close on the heels of martyrdom of two gallant soldiers -- Sanjeevan Rana and Jagdish Chand --who laid down their lives fighting Pakistan militants at Pathankot airbase attack, can create a serious law and order situation, apart from hurting the sentiments of the families living barely few meters away from the stadium.
