There were concerns untill a week back that the IPL would not be held this year. The BCCI appears to have used its financial clout to get the venue shifted to either England or South Africa. The media joined hands with the BCCI to make it look as if it has pulled off a major coup. That may be so, but what kind of message are we sending out ?
We are in effect telling the entire world that India is not a safe enough place to hold a sporting extravaganza like the IPL.
We are in effect conceding a victory to the terror mongers.
India should have done one of two things. They should have waited for the general elections to get over before hosting the IPL in India. Or they should have ensured adequate security so that the tournament can happen alongside the elections.
The BCCI may have made the sponsors and the franchisees happy.
But at what cost ?
