“We will try to facilitate the maximum number of spectators as the series
belongs to both the nations. We shall ask the Pakistan Cricket Board to
submit a list of individuals for visa authorization and we will try to
organise to optimum means in this regard,” Rajiv Shukla, vice-president of
the Board forControl of Cricket in India (BCCI), and minister for
parliamentary affairs told The Telegraph.
Government officials had early told the news agency AFP 1000 Pakistani fans
will be given visas for the test match in New Delhi, and 500 each for the
contests in Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Chennai and Calcutta. The matches begin on
Christmas Day and continue until January 6th.
Officials say India’s last tour of Pakistan in 2005-2006 and Pakistan’s return
visit to India in 2007 were marked by the generosity of both sets of fans to
one another and created a warm context for government talks. That atmosphere
froze after the Mumbai attacks, but officials hope cricket can play its part
once again.
“It’s good for the nations, good for promoting a peace among the nations here
after Mumbai strained relations. This will be a start where even Pakistan
players could play in the Indian Premier League after this,” said one
official.
