International Sports Governing Bodies: The Sports Ministry on Wednesday said India’s ban on bilateral sporting ties with Pakistan will continue, while also maintaining that Pakistan players and teams will be able to participate in multilateral events hosted by India.
In an official circular issued to the National Sports Federations, the Indian Olympic Association and the Sports Authority of India, Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of External Affairs, the ministry stated that, "Insofar as bilateral sports events in each other’s country are concerned, Indian teams will not be participating in competitions in Pakistan. Nor will we permit Pakistani teams to play in India."
"With regard to international and multilateral events, in India or abroad, we are guided by the practices of international sports bodies and the interests of our own sportspersons. It is also relevant to take into account India's emergence as a credible venue to host international sports events."
