Former Indian cricketer, Venkatesh Prasad, slammed the Pakistani government, after the neighbouring country witnessed another terrorist attack on Friday. Militants from Pakistani Taliban armed with heavy guns entered the Karachi Police chief's office and started firing which resulted in nine people (6 rangers and 3 policemen) and further injuring 14 people reported Dawn.
"When you breed terrorists, this is what will come back. Feel sad for innocent people who lose their lives because the country is unable to have intolerance towards terrorism. #Karachi", Venkatesh wrote sharing a Tweet of a Pakistani journalist on the Karachi attack.
PSL to go on as per schedule
Questions arose over the fate of the ongoing Pakistan Super League following the terrorist attack. The attack is unlikely to affect the fate of the ongoing tournament. Accoring to Geo Super, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and all six franchises have agreed to continue the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 8 as per schedule.
An emergency meeting was called by the PCB which was attended by franchise representatives. In the meeting, PCB, in consultation with security agencies and the provincial government, took franchises in confidence.
As a result, they all agreed to continue with the ongoing edition of PSL as per schedule in Karachi.
