Islamabad: Information Minister Ata Tarar has said that a nation that suffers from moral degradation brings politics into sports, six ships have been downed and the war has been lost, now they say they will not shake hands in cricket.

He said this in response to questions from journalists after the first meeting of the National Peace Message Committee. Talking to the media, he said that a nation that suffers from moral degradation brings politics into sports, six ships have been downed and the war has been lost, now they say they will not shake hands in cricket, those who have no respect do this to remove shame, whatever the circumstances, the sportsman spirit should live on.

The journalist asked whether the ICC has fulfilled Pakistan’s demand to remove the referee? To this, he said that only Mohsin Naqvi can tell this better, I think the match referee should not have done this, the match referee should have acted as a referee, whatever happens next, the PCB will decide.

Talking about terrorism, he said that the facilitator of a terrorist is also a terrorist, whoever shelters a terrorist is also a terrorist, the nation has sacrificed 90 thousand lives, the facilitators, regardless of their affiliation with any political or religious party, are also worthy of arrest.

He said that terrorists have no religion, they are trying to harm Pakistan, peace will definitely be established, those who do not spare innocent children in schools have no religion, those who are against Pakistan and the Pakistani state, their facilitators are absolutely terrorists, everyone agrees on this.
