Former India National Cricket Team captain and ex-BCCI president Sourav Ganguly has strongly called for an end to all cricketing ties between India and Pakistan following the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir on April 22. Speaking to reporters Ganguly said enough is enough and stressed that terrorism should never be tolerated.

When asked if India should completely cut cricketing ties with Pakistan Ganguly didn't hesitate.

"100 per cent, India should do this (break ties with Pakistan). Strict action should be taken. It has turned out to be a joke that such things are happening every year. Terrorism cannot be tolerated," Ganguly said.

Cricket matches between India and Pakistan have become rare over the years. India last toured Pakistan for a bilateral series way back in 2007-08. Their last bilateral series was in 2013. After the 26/11 Mumbai attacks cricketing relations between the two nations have mostly stayed frozen. These days, the two sides only meet during ICC events like the T20 World Cup, ODI World Cup, Champions Trophy, and the Asia Cup.

Meanwhile BCCI vice president Rajeev Shukla also condemned the terror attack and reiterated India's stance.

"We are with the victims and we condemn it. Whatever our government will say, we will do. We don't play with Pakistan in bilateral series because of the government stand. And we will not play with Pakistan in bilaterals going forward. But when it comes to ICC events, we play due to ICC engagement. ICC is also aware of whatever is happening," Shukla said while speaking to Sports Tak.
