Shifting of IPL to a third country for security reasons is very valid and welcome move. The Government of India has acted correctly and wisely.
However the news that Advani has not allowed holding of the election rally in Azamgarh in UP for security reasons is absurd and unacceptable. When security is not possible for just a rally in this country how can they provide security for an event like the IPL?
Hitler managed to host Olympics in Germany during Second World War. Second World War's magnitue was much larger than current terrorist threats. Olympics has been even bigger than IPL or even for that matter a Cricket World Cup. Its a shame that Indian Govt can not provide security to a sporting event during Elections. Its a victory for terrorist organizations in the end.
UPA cannot provide security to 11 players then how can they provide security to 100 crore people. Lives are very cheap for UPA Congress-UPA is solely responsible for the BCCI's decision to shift the IPL out of the country Has India become so unsecured like Pakistab that a domestic tournament has to go abroad? The whole country is disturbed with this move sending wrong signals about India's security condition, We used to hear about security threats to sporting events in Pakistan, but now this is happening in India. With the blessings of UPA/congress After this, how will India we respond to foreign teams who will travel to the country and how will we convince the tourists and players that India is secured for the Delhi Commonwealth Games? Alternatively govt can have an understanding with the terrorists not to attack hotels or non-election oriented stuffs.
