IOC Suspends India From Organising Olympic-Related Events in Future

• The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has suspended all discussions with Indian NOC and government and refused to provide hosting rights to the country for organizing global sports events and Olympic related sports in the future.
• The decision comes after India refused visas for two Pakistan shooters to take part in the New Delhi ISSF World Cup shooting 2019 due to Pulwama terror attack. 
• IOC has also cancelled the Olympic qualification status for the men’s 25m rapid fire pistol event from the ISSF World Cup. It is the event in which the two Pakistan shooters were to take part.
• The ban will be valid until the Indian government gives clear written guarantees to ensure access for all athletes.
