Security in India is foolproof: Rajnath assures Pak T20 team

March 11, 2016 13:26

A day after Pakistan demanded an assurance from New Delhi to provide adequate security to their cricket team, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday said that anyone coming to India will be provided adequate security.

"Whosoever will come to India will be secured," Singh told the media here.Meanwhile, senior BCCI functionary Rajeev Shukla also said the board takes full responsibility of providing fool proof security to all the teams visiting the nation for the World T20.

Pakistan's Interior Minister Nisar Ali Khan had earlier asked New Delhi to give the security assurance in writing.

"The Indian government should give public guarantee of fool proof security to the Pakistan cricket team, if not assured then the team would not be given permission to participate in the World T20," he said yesterday.
