National News: The horrific terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir has shocked the soul of the country. This brutal attack in the Bisaran Valley was killed by 26 innocent tourists, including women and children. After this incident, where there is an atmosphere of sorrow and anger all over the country, former under-19 player of Indian cricket Srivats Goswami has raised a big question on the cricket relations with Pakistan.
In an emotional post on X (East Twitter) on Wednesday, Goswami said: "And that's why I always say - don't play cricket with Pakistan. Never." He also targeted those who say that sports should be kept separate from politics. "When innocent Indians are being killed, does it become our moral responsibility to play cricket?" - They asked. "Now is the time to answer in the same language"
In his post, Goswami wrote bluntly: "If they play like this, now the time has come for us to answer them in the same language - not with the bat and ball, but with the solved, deserted and 'zero tolerance'."
He wrote that he is deeply hurt by this attack and has broken down.

"A few months ago I was in Kashmir for the Legends League. I saw the hope of peace in the eyes of the people. But now again the same blood… it breaks something inside."
After the attack, there was deep mourning and resentment in the Indian cricket community. Former all-rounder Yuvraj Singh wrote on social media:
"There is deep mourning for those who lose their lives in the Pahalgam attack. I pray for their families."
Deeply saddened by the attack on tourists in Pahalgam. Praying for the victims and for the strength of their families 🙏🏻 Let us stand united in hope and humanity. #PahalgamTerroristAttack

Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir reacted sharply:
"I am praying for the families of those killed. Those responsible for this attack will have to pay a heavy price for it. India will reply."
Praying for the families of the deceased. Those responsible for this will pay. India will strike. #Pahalgam

Srivats Goswami's statement has once again given air to the debate that arises after every major terrorist attack should India completely end the cricket relationship with Pakistan? Is it justified to prioritize the spirit of sports at the cost of innocent lives?
