It was Pakistan which refused to play India and not vice versa.

I think there was a thread on ICF with a link to an article about how Pakistan 1st refused to play India in 1990s.........and not vice versa. So is it true? The link to the artcile will be useful.

In fact, Pakistan's two visits to India between 1989 and 1995 were cancelled for one reason or the other. Shiv Sena's threats forced the Pakistan cricket administrators to postpone the visit in 1991 and a year later, the demolition of historic Babri Masjid in Ayodhia further dampened the prospects of Pakistan crossing the borders. India, on the contrary, refused to come to Pakistan in 1993 for the Asia Cup saying it wouldn't come until they were paid a return visit by the Pakistanis.
