IPL : Pakistani player auction controversy

Shahrukh khan's team has 5 pakistani players and 3 bangladesi players.The benefits are many, the catchment area increases many fold. 140 million pakistanis will support the team, 100 million bangladeshis and many million of his fans apart from West bengal.So the team fan base will cross boundaries and so will the commerce.
In last couple of interviews, he is very forthcoming in mentioning that his parents and roots lie in pakistan and he doesnt hide that he has a soft corner for pakistan.Fair enough.
Having said this, we should be aware that more that 10,000 people have been killed in kashmir alone in last 20 years.In last 3 years hundreds have died in spate of bomb blasts in several cities.The islamic fundamentalist are not operating on its own, its got backing of Pakistan government.And they are not stopping at anything, infiltrations are still going on, our people are still getting killed.
Some nation attacks our people and we cant even deny them something as trivial as IPL really makes us look very funny.
                                          Ours is a trillion dollar economy, and potential to change the economic landscape of entire sub continent.But if someone keeps poking at this big nation by terrorist activities, that nation stands to loose out in economic upheavel of the region and if IPL is made out to be a lesson in that, then its a good thing.One cant kill our people and we keep on making their people rich by providing employment opportunities.
The loss of commerce has capacity to change government stance, Foshan in china is a good example.India should completely  discard pakistan from all forms of commerce, that will potentially jolt them up.
