WEB DESK: The rise in violence between the two neighboring countries Pakistan and India can cause harm to the Cricket World Cup in United Kingdom this year.
After a terror attack in Pulwama district in India, which killed more than 40 paramilitary troops, India is accusing Pakistan for this attack, while Pakistan is denying the accusation.
Many Indian and Pakistani cricketers condemn the incident.
I’m shocked after hearing about the attack in Pulwama, heartfelt condolences to the martyred soldiers & prayers for the speedy recovery of the injured jawaans.
