India must keep politics away from sports: Abdul Basit
NEW DELHI, JUN 21 (DNA) – Pakistan’s High Commissioner to India Abdul Basit said that Pakistan and India must remain in touch regarding all matters including terrorism, and urged India to keep politics away from sports.
Abdul Basit expressed his views while giving an interview to Indian newspaper The Hindu, and said the meetings of Pakistan with Hurriyat leaders must be taken
