Pakistani cricketers, though veteran, are now no more our idols..!

Dharamshala, February 20: In the aftermath of Pulwama terror attack, the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) has removed the photos of Pakistan cricketers from the picture gallery of its stadium here.

Every person is in deep sorrow and stands with the families of martyrs. Last rites are still going on in respective places of those 40 braveheart soldiers who lost their lives in Pulwama attack.

HPCA general manager HS Minhas said: "The reason is known to the entire nation. What our neighbour has done with us, our soldiers, it is neither acceptable now nor will ever be. No country will ever tolerate such things."

"After this incident, we do not want the pictures of Pakistani cricketers to hang on our walls. So, we have vacated the place and there is no space for them as of now," Minhas said.

When asked about the reactions and obligations of people, "Unfortunately yes, visitors had issues earlier as well. But this time the scenario is bigger. So we had to take the action." He added

Earlier, the Cricket Club in India at its Brabourne stadium in Mumbai covered the photograph of Imran Khan, while the pictures of Pak players have been removed from the stadiums in Mohali, and Jaipur as well.
