India vs Pakistan in T20 World Cup: The demand for cancellation of India vs Pakistan match in the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup is raising after the recent killings of civilians in Kashmir’s Kulgam. Since Saturday 4 non-local labourers were shot in different incidents in the valley. Police have said that these are terror incidents. Union Minister Giriraj Singh as per media reports has called for the cancellation of the Ind-Pak game. The arch-rivals are scheduled to meet each other on October 24.
“The face of terrorism will now be made clear. In the coming times, congress will be left traceless on Indian soil. The match between India and Pakistan in the coming days needs to be given another thought in the wake of the attacks happening on Hindus in Jammu and Kashmir. The relations are not good right now,” Giriraj Singh said as per news reports.

Meanwhile India captain Virat Kohli ahead of the India vs Pakistan game said that it is just another cricket match for him. “I can talk from personal experience. I have always approached this game like any other game. I know there is a lot of hype created around this game, more so with ticket sales and the demands of tickets. Right now, the value of those tickets are ridiculously high. Apart from that, I do not think we make anything extra out of this game. For us, it is just about a game of cricket that has to be played in the right way,” Virat said.
