'Sleeping With Terrorists': Why India’s Cricket Legends Won’t Speak On Shoaib Akhtar–LeT Row

'Sleeping With Terrorists': Why India’s Cricket Legends Won’t Speak On Shoaib Akhtar–LeT Row Brand expert Suhel Seth says Indian cricketers are “obtusely diplomatic,” arguing their silence on Shoaib Akhtar standing with Lashkar‑e‑Taiba figures almost legitimises terror and that “country must come before sport.” Senior journalist Rakesh Rao and Chandrashekhar Luthra underline how deep Pakistan’s terror–cricket nexus runs and ask why legends like Gavaskar, Kapil Dev and others won’t speak, while former cricketer Atul Wasan urges sponsors and ICC to act against Akhtar rather than expecting Pakistanis to change. #ShoaibAkhtar #LashkareTaiba #IndianCricketers #SuhelSeth #RakeshRao #AtulWasan #ChandrashekharLuthra #CricketAndTerror #PakistanTerrorLinks #ICC #SportsAndNation #RepublicTV #RepublicWorld #RepublicTV #BreakingNews #RepublicNews #IndiaNews #LiveNews #RepublicExclusive #RepublicWorldLive #ArnabGoswami #RepublicDigital #NationFirst Watch More ➡️ Videos On:    / @republicdefence   Visit Now ➡️ Full Story On: https://www.republicworld.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Republic TV is India's no.1 English news channel since its launch.
