Our players have fought really hard to come to this stage, it is important to play the tournament. We will be going, and there is no difficulty in going to Pakistan to play," Chatterjee told ANI."When we drew Pakistan to play them here in 2006, they came to India. It's not a bilateral series, and since it is not a bilateral series, there is no embargo. Davis Cup is the World Cup of tennis. In the hockey World Cup, Pakistan came here to play the tournament," he added.On asked whether the federation sought government's approval, the Secretary-General said that the federation does not need approval for events
