Pakistan did not shy away from doing politics even in the 44th Chess Olympiad. The games began on Thursday in India’s hosting. In a strange fashion, the Pakistan team’s campaign ended before it started. Pakistan had sent their team to participate in this Chess Olympiad. But as soon as the tournament started, the boycott was announced. India has termed Pakistan’s decision as very unfortunate. The International Chess Federation (FIDE) has decided to participate in the 44th Chess Olympiad

More than 180 countries are participating in the 44th Chess Olympiad. The tournament was inaugurated on Thursday in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Pakistan used this opportunity to do politics.

Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry alleged in a statement that India passed the torch of the international sporting event from Jammu and Kashmir to politicise it. Pakistan condemns India’s attempt to link the sporting event to politics. We have opposed it to the 44th chess.

Olympiad director and All India Chess Federation (AICF) general secretary Bharat Singh Chauhan later said that the Pakistan players will leave India after withdrawing from the tournament. The tournament is scheduled to be held between July 28 and August 10 at Mamallapuram near Chennai.
