India has made cricket a global farce with unflinching
match-fixings. Match-fixing is secret of India. The Indian
birthright and Indians have used increasingly to win toss and
matches and also the series. The ODI in New Zealand these days is
following a match-fixing script. India lost both 20/20 with New
Zealand and immediately they woke up to make match fixing to win
ODIs. And, India has been now successful after the match fixing with
NL. It appears New Zealand did not keep words it gave to India to
make India 400 plus but did keep its words by giving the pampered
Sachuin 100 plus.
If promises are not kept poor India would be the loser and so India
insists on high run rate in the beginning. India has also sent some
players to play for New Zealand domestic as per the secret deal and
New Zealand should make India win some ODIs so that both Australia
and South Africa are hit badly. India has own ODI on Sunday the
March 08, accordingly. Rest should be seen in near future if NL
makes any patriotic moves or just make extra cash from Indian
industrialists and government agencies and prefer to lose the
credibility of their nation. These days the cricket mafia and global
media support the Hindu Indian sportsmen, why?
India has used a liquor tycoon to spend money to “clinch” the used
items of Indian freedom leader MK. Gandhi whom India sidelined soon
after the Independence and Indian morality and legal estimates at
lowest ebbs now. Patriotic Indians should protest against such bad
guys in New Zealand and elsewhere. —Via email
Political turmoil
Abbas Ali
The verdict of the Supreme Court of Pakistan disqualifying Sharif
Brothers, their outright rejection to accept and support of JI/ TI -
both political parties of the country further fuelled their anger.
They vowed to fight until the verdict is withdrawn and former Chief
Justice Iftikhar Chowdhry is restored. They even asserted that now
matter would be decided on the street by the people. This would
further aggravate the situation.
It is well known to 160 millions people of Pakistan that the country
is presently great uncountable problems from inside and outside. At
this point of time, creating more problems will amount to pushing
the country from the point of no return. It is therefore bounded
responsibility of every citizen to play due role and ensure that no
one can cast evil eyes on Pakistan. We have to be mindful of the
fact that independence is an invaluable gift which requires
unflinching love it which is possible only if we discard the habit
of mudslinging and character assassination and truly love with our
country and serve its people selflessly. May Allah guide us to steer
our country on the path of progress and prosperity! —Karachi
Slogan of change
Anjum Gul
Every politician needs a slogan for one’s election campaign to make
it successful and Obama’s theme of election campaign was that what
we actually want to listen that is ‘change’. People wanted change in
America’s policies so they voted a black man to be a president of
America for the very first time in its history. Although the
‘change’ in foreign policy cannot be made overnights, it needs to be
evolved but we must acknowledge some of the immediate policy change
measures of Obama. Americans have experienced all white men who
could be the heads of the state; Result: America is an
interventionist state. Now there is need to restore America’s image
as a peace-loving country. Hence, American people have given a
chance to a black man who may transform America’s black image into
white.
Obama an elect-president of America, graduate of Colombia university
and school of law has been doing noteworthy jobs prior to his
presidentship. He worked on creation of legislation to control
conventional weapons and to promote greater public accountability in
the use of federal funds. He also worked on legislation regarding
lobbying and electoral fraud ,climate change, nuclear terrorism, and
care for U.S. military personnels returning from combat assignments
in Iraq and Afghanistan. No doubt he continued his posture of
development strategies even after taking oath as 44th president of
America. He pledged to overcome economic depression started in Wall
Street and spreading across the global economy.
In this context he pledged to create new jobs for people in
Washington. Not only this he also closed Guantanamo prison in Cuba,
increased number of troops in Afghanistan to control the situation
and pledged Pakistan to give $1.5 billion more in economic
assistance annually for next ten years and military assistance and
training to counter terrorist insurgencies in FATA and NWFP and
other parts of Pakistan. Most importantly in order to engage Iran he
asked to start talks with it unlike his predecessor who isolated the
country. —Rawalpindi
Swearing by God
S R H Hashmi
One thing that disturbs me quite often, and I am sure I am not alone
in that, is the excessive swearing prevalent in our society. People
indulge in it in quite a casual manner and do not mind even swearing
by God (Khuda Ki Kasam) in television dramas, casual conversations,
film songs etc., in full knowledge of the fact that what they are
saying is untrue. They do not seem to think for a second that
swearing by God is something serious and must not be treated as some
sort of harmless activity that merely adds a bit of spice to the
conversation and has no significance beyond that.
I am sure writers, poets and ordinary people can find ways to
express their thoughts forcefully without having recourse to
swearing. As it is, we commit enough sins, so there is just no point
in adding to the inventory by committing this sacrilege, which is
totally avoidable. —Karachi
Advocacy of vested few
Nooure Zaman
Constitution suggests that President, governor are non-partisan
positions: whether under 17th amendment, 58-2, Governor Raj. They
cannot belong to any party or play naked politicos of divide and
rule, buy others MP to form their party government. Every
unconstitutional act and those abetting, advocating it are
impeachable and liable under Article 6 I therefore strongly feel
that President, Governor in Punjab must be impeached immediately
along with PPP ministers, MQM.
Caretaker government of impartial patriots, with immaculate honest
and incorruptible record in provincial set up, Independent Election
Commission must be formed to hold elections in three months to get
rid of liars, corrupts and bring stability to our democratic
political system upholding rule of law. —Quetta
Blind opinion
GO Khan
Yaha Husseini opinion in a national English daily dated March of
date seems to be purple blind. He did not see PPP kettle which is
also blackened by NRO to cite only one instance. People know and so
worker that PPP is no longer Benazir or Z A Bhuttos’ party which now
owned by Mr Zardari. His earlier reputation and how he became
President by breaching every national pledge, compromising with
Musharraf, Pervaiz Elahi group whom Benazir Sahiba blamed to plan
her murder, MQM who were responsible for bloodbaths of
May,October,2007, back tracking on BB Sahibas’ publicly recognising
restoration of deposed judges, priniciple of independent judiciary,
COD, Bhurbhan etc only make Yahah Husseini diatribes against Nawaz
Shairf appear adding fuel to fire of opportunism not friendly to
national integrity ,solidarity and sovereignty. Can he trust liars
to protect his country in the event of threats looming on us and
poverty, misery many hundred times escalated in one year of PPP-Zardari
misgovernance. Mr Husseini must consult some opticians. —Mardan
