BJP today gave a lukewarm response to the likely resumption of cricketing ties between India and Pakistan,saying the “team” of terrorists,which was involved in the 26/11 Mumbai attack and is living in the neighbouring country,should also be brought here.

Asked to respond to the BCCI decision agreeing to a three-match ODI series between the two arch-rivals,BJP spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain said,”The Pakistan cricket team had come to India earlier for the World Cup. The team of terrorists involved in the 26/11 attack should also be brought to India.”

The opposition has often alleged that the UPA government is soft towards Pakistan on the issue of cross-border terrorism. It maintains that no talks should be held with Pakistan till it acts on the dossiers provided to it on 26/11 accused and the culprits living there are brought to book.
