LAHORE The attack report on the Sri Lankan cricket team has blamed the police for negligence in giving proper protection to the foreign team in March last year. Lahore High Court judge Raza Rizvi has identified more than a dozen senior policemen in a report on attack which is due to be submitted to the International Cricket Council. A judge has alleged that some of the senior police officials were negligent on the day terrorists attacked the Sri Lanka team bus. According to a wire news agency, Rizvi said that police officials failed to perform their duties on March 2009 when gunmen killed six policemen and a van driver in the team convoy and injured several Sri Lanka players and team officials. The Pakistan Cricket Board is still waiting for permission from the government to submit the report to the ICC despite reminders by the games governing body. The judicial commission of Rizvi completed its inquiry last year. However, the Pakistan Sports Ministry on Friday said that it had not received any report from the Pakistan Cricket Board on the terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan team. The PCB had recently said that it was awaiting clearance from the government before sending the report to the ICC after allegations that the board was dragging its feet on the issue. Former ICC President Ehsan Mani said that the PCB was not doing any good to the game by delaying the submission of the report. As far as I know they had sent us a report on the sad incident but that was sometime back and it was for our information. After that they have not approached us to get clearance from other ministries to send the report to the ICC, an official from the sports ministry was reported to have said. The PCB, on its part, said they would seek permission directly from the relevant ministries as it was not necessary to seek permission via the sports ministry. The inquiry report has been circulated to the concerned ministries, a PCB official said. Mani claimed that the PCB was delaying in sending the report to the ICC despite several reminders and that it was a huge block in the way of resumption of international cricket in Pakistan. ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat also confirmed that they had not got any report on the attack. The sports ministry official said that it was their responsibility to forward any query or request from the PCB to other ministries including the interior and foreign affairs ministries. It is true that the PCB requires permission from some ministries before it can send the official inquiry report to anyone but our ministry has not got any such request as yet, he said. International teams have been flatly refusing to tour Pakistan since the tragic incident in which six Pakistani policemen and a van driver were killed and five Sri Lankan players were wounded. Since then, Pakistan has been forced to play all its home series abroad at neutral venues.
