Security concerns for Pak at Ahmedabad-Real Politick

A delegation from Pakistan had come to India to inspect the security arrangements on the eve of the Indo-Pak Cricket series. In its report it has asked the Indian cricket board to shift the venue of a test match Ahmedabad outside the state of Gujarat. Gujarat the last bastion of the Hindu nationalist BJP, scene of the ghastly and systematic murder of Moslems in the aftermath of the Godra riots. Then are the concerns of the Pak deligation are just? Yes as moslems the Pak team and the Pak cricketing fans may not be comfortable to play on land where their berthen were so mercilessly butchered, they could be fearfull. I guess their sensitivities must be respected.

However often in matters such, as these not every thing is black and white. One must remember that just a few months ago Indians refused to play in Karachi. Also the CM of Gujarat had taunted the Pak president as “Miya Musharaf “ during his vicious election campaign. So security may not be the real reason as I cannot imagine any one attacking the pak team. The delegation may have had more of Real Politick in their mind when they gave their report.
