The 2008 Beijing Olympic Shooting Gold medalist, Abhinav Bindra said, “he respects the government’s stand on Indo-Pak relations in terms of sports and ties which deal with other issues.

When asked about his views on the critical position that is faced by these two countries Bindra said,“At the end of the day, it is the decision of the government. It takes the final call on whether a team can play (against Pakistan) and that call has to be respected”.

He said that we should keep Politics and sports separate but incidences like this end up mixing the two very different genres of issues.
