Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Wednesday said those demanding Pakistan’s boycott in the upcoming cricket World Cup are “justified” to some extent given that things are not normal between the two countries after the Pulwama terror attack. The two neighbours are drawn to clash on June 16 at Old Trafford.

New Delhi:
“I cannot make any comment (on cricket issues) except to say those who are demanding it have some justification. You can see many films and concerts have been cancelled. Things are not normal,” Prasad said. However, he
refrained from outrightly calling for a boycott of the match and said it is upto the BCCI and the ICC to assess the situation and take a call accordingly.
