Angry Pak threatens befitting response to IPL snub

Angry over perceived IPL snub to its cricketers, Pakistan has threatened to respond in a “befitting manner”, saying the manner in which its players were “insulted” showed that India is not serious about the peace process.

“India or any other country that does not give respect to Pakistan will be treated the same way by us. If there is a desire to improve Indo-Pak friendship, respect should be given to Pakistani sportspersons,” Interior Minister Rehman Malik was quoted as saying in the TV channels.
