Nothing against Pakistan: Petitioner

20 April,2012 08:24 AM IST |   |  Bipin Dani

Khandker Dider-us-Salam, the senior lecturer and Head of Department of Law at Daffodil International University in Dhaka and one of the two petitioners, who successfully got the injunction order against Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) for sending team to Pakistan, says, the day when the country (Pakistan) is safe to host matches, I would immediately book tickets to go and witness my team playing in Pakistan.


"I have nothing against Pakistan and the players. Had it been any other (unsafe) country, I would have done the same thing. "I did not move court to seek any publicity. I am a cricket fan and was concern for our players."

The 36-year-old professor has been following the game with interest. "I have also been following the IPL in India and all other international matches," he says. Both petitioners (the other being Kamal Hossain Meahzi, an advocate) were represented by Barrister Hassan M S Azim. English and Bengali newspaper clippings and links which portrayed Pakistan to be unsafe to host the matches were attached in the 27-page petition.
