India, as well as the World, was taken aback with the unprecedented Pulwama incident by the fear-mongers or the Ter***ists. About 50 nations across the world have spoken about it through various media platforms. They have extended their sympathies and support to the families of the lost lives. In a recent move, India has rejected Player visas to two Pakistani game persons, who were supposed to participate at a World Cup event in New Delhi.
The crisp move made by our Indian side was lauded by the natives but the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is not at all pleased with this. They have understood the growing tension between the two nations of India and Pakistan. And the IOC is not happy about it, but enraged by the move.
The reason why IOC was condemning the move made by the Indian diplomats is that the event the two Pakistani players were to attend was a World Cup event, denying that would also affect the possible Olympics in India. Restricting other nation's players for a World Cup level event is not a right move.
The IOC thus decided that the raising tensions would be futile to other nation's players who come to attend and to the rules and fervour of the games. And so India is furthermore restricted and banned from conducting and brandishing occasions related to the Olympic Games.
The foreswearing in the Visas of players is against the basic standards set by the Olympic sanction. The move displays and demonstrates segregation and political impedance from the Host Country. On the contrary, the Indian government has not made any special provisions to facilitate the entry of Pakistani players even after IOC's response.
Until and unless the Indian Legislation gives a thorough clearance and assurance in this regard, guaranteeing access for all the Worldwide Competitors, this ban and restriction will go on. Just a year ago, our Indian Olympic Association had eagerly spread out a guide to possibly conduct Youth Olympics in 2026, the Asian Games in 2030, and even the summer Olympics in 2032.

This has angered the IOC even more, and the board has decided to not hold any more talks with the Indian nation. It further cancelled and suspended the Potential Applications for facilitating future games and Olympic-related events in India. The IOC went on to urge other International Gaming organisations to follow the same, and not conduct games in India.
