Demanding that the Pakistan cricket team should not be allowed to play in the World Twenty20 match against India on March 19, the Anti-Terrorist Front on Friday threatened that it would dig the pitch to protest the holding of the match at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium.
"If the Pakistan team comes to Dharamsala to play against Indian cricket team, we will dig the pitch in HPCA stadium," Virender Shandilya, national president of Anti-Terrorist Front of India, said. Also read: Pakistan to assess security arrangements before World Twenty20
"There is a high risk that Pakistani terrorists can enter the area during the match and if Himachal Pradesh government allows the tie, it will be the disrespect towards the martyrs of Pathankot and Pampore."
Shandilya claimed that he had written letters to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Rajnath Singh in this regard and will also meet state chief minister Virbhadra Singh and leader of opposition PK Dhumal.
"We will protest against this match in Dharamshala in a big way in the coming days," said Shandilya.
