As an individual we need to look at priorities. We don’t sit and watch movie when we have larger challenge or task to be accomplished at home. The same applies to the nation.
We also need to look at things from a common man’s perspective and the gravity of the situation – I don’t think entertainment would score over a democratic exercise especially pertaining to security.
Now assuming both take place simultaneously though the Govt. can certainly handle both and deploy manpower, we need to see how effective it would be since it would asking too much from the security forces. It would be too taxing on the Police, armed forces and the local administration to handle such a huge task. I don’t think we deserve an entertainment by exerting so much pressure on the security forces. And if there is any unfortunate incident the common man would be the first to be affected because they are exposed to greater risk
Let us not challenge the priorities of the nation for the interest of a few agencies, associates, companies and individuals who have direct commercial benefits from this. And IPL is not going to change the economic scenario so drastically for us to take this risk.
Now why all this debate when an entertainment can wait – like we can always watch a movie next week or go for a holiday next month – why can’t we wait for IPL till we are done with the elections.
Kind regards

Am too closely associated with IPL in their creative work functioning and this strong review of Mr. Srinivasan to me looks just the one side of the coin.
IPL was successful not just in changing many lives, infusing a fresh enthusiasm in our players but also it gave work to so many agencies, consultants and people associated with this country’s one of the biggest events ever held.
From the agency business perspective if you ponder on it, in such difficult times of economic downturn, wherein the advertisers market has completely dried, at least IPl came to all as a reviving and good news because most of the big spending companies have cut down drastically their yearly advertising budgets only to keep safe some special allocations to be spent on advertising during IPL for their brand building exercises. Which is a good news.
It’s one of the case that elections are coinciding with the IPL dates and being security of the nation too a priority, it’s the time when our government needs to play a vital role in providing a viable solution to it instead of treating these two events as options to each other in isolation.
Difficult situations requires handling and providing solutions in an appropriate way. Shying away from the problems is not always the right strategy. I hope our government would show some good management skills this time !!

Dear Mr Srinivasan,
Im saddened to see your view on this matter. As a representative of one of IPL Franchises, I think its an incorrect position to take.

dear friends
It is a sad event that Srilankan cricketers were targetted by Pak terrorists. When
Already, more than 21 lakhs of security forces like police, para military forces are going to be drawn by Election Commission. This is in addition to the security arrangements involving many lakhs of police forces during the Election Campaign, throughout
In addition, the Government has the responsibility of maintaining the law and order and securing the borders during this strainful days.
I donot know why IPL is particular about going ahead with the matches. If they plan the matches, then the Governments have to provide more protection to the matches also, deploying heavy security personnel.
In these days when
There is a limit for greediness. Our enthusiam to watch the cricket, should not put the entire Nation to risk. Nation's security is supreme than few billionaires earning further billions.
