Addressing reporters in Jammu, he urged people to forget the incident as a bad incident.

"Lets put it behind as a bad incident, they have apologised and we should accept the apology putted behind us, and I will assure you that if this issue had come to my notice earlier then this would not happen...but any sports event scheduled for Srinagar will take place and I will see the Cricket match will take place in Srinagar," said Chidambaram.
