Why fear to host IPL

It is really disturbing to note that Government of India is not able to provide security for the IPL matches and the same are in process of getting shifted to South Africa. No doubt elections are more important then any cricket match. But by refusing to provide security to IPL matches, It appears that the Union Government has felt threatened by unknown. The main aim of terrorist is to create an environment of threat and fear and I think they have suceeded in the same. The single act of the Government has created an image of India as a not so safe country amongst the international community.

It is more dangerous to bow down to a terror threat than to fall victim of it. The Government of India has again proved that India is a soft state which will avoid chellenges than to face it. This brings fears in the minds of common citizens that despite intelligence inputs why my country is not able to protect me. I think as citizens we all need to stand up and impress upon Government to have IPL matches in India only.
