The insanity of resuming cricket ties with Pakistan

[ajtr]

who care about their crap ?

when crap starts stinking then you ve to clean by yourself.

Yea i am sure indians dont eat food until they don't repeat the word pakistani terrroism 100 times

I am sure even in their dreams they associate terrorism with pakistan every night

Do you think indians really needs to repeat anything which is slashsed right across their TV screen /newspapers day in day out being reported from pakistan by munije jahangir and Anita Jousha sitting in isb.

Can't we just cut all diplomatic ties with India?

I'm tired of putting up with their whiney crap.

Oh sure you can cut ties..but you cant live with us and without us

Can't agree more with you? In fact, this is what many Indians want from our idiotic govt..

Wrong ......this is wat internet indians want.dont mix others with urself.

yea media as well as on pdf all Indians chanting this slogan

Two things are noble in this world:
1. Chanting Gods name.
2.Striving hard for justice and get it done.

What a stupid point of view... Sport should not be mixed with politics. It is actually a nice way to duke it out on the playing field instead of the battlefield.

Not resuming cricket will have zero effect on political issues, not like PCB has any say in the country's matters, and not like Pakistanis have stopped playing cricket despite India's meanderings behind the scenes.

If anything it will give an ego boost to the terrorists to go around and say "Dekha humari team se darr gaye".

Where national interests/justice matters sports was always mixed with politics..ie south africa's ban due to Apartheid,UK not playing Zimbabwe or west's boycott of Moscow Olympics.In fact every arrow in the quiver is used and sports is such an arrow.

The wounded miscreant was Umar Gul's uncle Haji Daly, an active member of banned outfit Lashkar-e-Islam.

Umar Gul's home was raid because his cousin was doctor who gave medical aid to a militant. Thing were resolved later on.

As far as Afridi is concerned last part of the article says it all.

Shahid Afridi, in Pakistan, told HT he wasnt aware of a family member being killed in Kashmir. However, he did not rule out the possibility completely. Pathan families are very large and I have lost track of the many cousins I have, he said.

Bold part. Enough said.

It's funny how Indians want to act like the champions of peace in the region and a single cricket match series throws their panties in a twist. The BCCI hasn't bestowed an honour to our heads by allowing us to play in India, rather, they have just cemented some whopping profit by sealing the deal which sees all stadiums sold out. It's business.........

 

[bronxbull]

We dont need pakistan playing in India.

 

[Awesome]

Exactly, neither is resuming the cricket going to have any effect, so why bother? Pakistan has many other countries it can play against so does India.

After all Indians have small heart and "hamari zehniyat hi aisi hai" so why are Pakistani cricketers desperate to join IPL or reinstate cricketing ties.

You have anything against everyone just having some fun?

Till 26/11 is not resolved India will stop having fun?

And this issue concerns an Aussie how exactly? Or maybe you are not really an Aussie but a naturalized citizen of Indian descent in which case your flags are incorrect and in direct violation of forum rules, how do you comply?

In that case, they better get used to staying bored because with the level of Indian co-operation, it will never be solved. The commission visited India a couple of weeks back and was only granted interviews with two policemen, that too in the presence of lawyers and other policemen. When they were asked for questioning, the permission was denied and the witnesses whisked away. The result, nothing, zip, bupkis.

I think the issue is more than just about cricket. The GoI chose this moment to restart cricketing ties (ostensibly stopped a mark of protest after 26/11) without anything to show for it. It also comes in the wake of Abu Jundal's "confession" on the roles supposedly played by state actors & repeated by the Union cabinet minister in charge of Home affairs. The timing stinks to high heaven. With Pakistan showing almost no movement on this issue, what, many of us ask, is the need to rush to bail out Pakistan with a cricket tour? It's the coffers of the Pakistani cricket board that are in shambles not that of BCCI and Pakistani cricket is directly suffering from the effect of the country's refusal to crackdown on terrorism. Make no mistake, Pakistan's tour of India will be followed at some point with a reciprocal tour (probably in England) which will help the Pakistani cricket board to become financially viable. Why should India bail out something which is finally suffering from the effects of the similar terror that Pakistan, we believe, has inflicted on us. The isolation of Pakistani cricket is actually that rare time when ordinary Pakistanis have to face up to the consequences that the unbridled run that terrorist groups have had in their country. Eventually, that isolation would have been one of the pressure points (even if a minor one) on those at the helm of the Pakistani state just like the anti-apartheid boycott affected a feeling of being pariah's on the white South Africans.

We almost certainly will have fun but there is no particular necessity that it has be with Pakistan that we have to have to fun with.

It shows how much Hate and extremism has grown inside India...... That their hatred have taken over any good gesture which can lead to peace.

There wont be peace in this region until India leave its My truth is truth and your truth is not truth policy......

But The reality is just opposite.

Hate for Pakistan, Yes, you may be right there.. Think about it.. How does one look at a good gesture favorably, till the time most of us in India believe that Pakistan's single minded agenda for last 60 years and for foreseeable future is to harm India. From a Pakistani perspective, this may not be entirely accurate, but unfortunately thats what most of us in India believe. Hence kind of difficult treating this and such minor peace gestures in isolation

No it's not....

Does it look like Indians are getting bored, neither the BCCI or the Indian players are hurting for money. Look, no one in India believes that anything will come out of the Pakistani investigations because we are convinced that there is some level of involvement of actors with state connections whether authorised or otherwise. The desperate attempts to prevent the extradition of Abu Jundal by claiming him to be a Pakistani citizen has conceivably removed any doubts on that score if any did exist after Headley's confession & now that of Abu Jundal. What Pakistanis may think about this matter is irrelevant to the opinion formed within India. It's one of the reasons that most Indians now believe that it would be neither prudent nor advisable to share anything of substance with the Pakistani authorities and in any case, would most certainly be a waste of time since Pakistan cannot & will not investigate against itself(something that your High Commissioner said from a different perspective). So essentially, there is no one waiting with bated breath for the illusory Pakistani co-operation which is why many feel that keeping Pakistani state(& its accessories including the cricket team) at an arms length might not be a bad way to go about things.

 

[shree835]

no its you reaping what you sow, indian terrorists like sarjeet singh and sarbjeet singh have been caught in the 90s terrorising in our territory

if MFN status is not given then our parliment has already approved to give such status while entire pakistani nation stands against allowing terrorists passing through our country

Who cares...Ki Pharak penda.
