"We have always supported cricket for that matter any sports with the neighbouring countries including Pakistan. But cricketing relations with Pakistan seems impractical given the extraordinary situation," party spokesperson Prakash Javadekar told reporters in New Delhi on Tuesday.
"We are in favour of normalising our cricketing ties but it is not possible with the current impasse," he added.
"Pakistan should 'walk the talk' in eliminating terror modules and need to ensure that its soil will not be used to attack India before any sporting tie resumes," Javadekar said.
