What does "win" mean?
They might win this battle but the greater war is the one we need to win. That said, if final is in Lahore, we should all be fully behind it, that doesn't mean it's the wisest choice. Tell that to the parents of the people who die in the next blast that it's "worth it COZ PSL". I dare you to even go tell that to the relatives of any of the people who died in the blast. One sports event has ZERO RELEVANCE. International Cricket will not come back till we end terrorism. Now it might be religiously motivated, or sponsored by India, it has zero relevance. It's time to end the scourge FIRST.
Do you know that when London was being targeted by suicide bombers attacking the tubes and busses. The mayor for London sat down with the UK cabinet and anti terrorist advisors and despite there being a clear and present threat the U.K. Government got the tubes running the next day because to disrupt transport for London by shutting down the tubes would mean the terrorists win.
Terrorists play a game of fire and psychology, give in to the psychology trauma and they "win", concede to their threats and they "win", change your plans and cower away and they "win".
I believe in our security forces to handle security for PSL final in Lahore. Have a little faith, relocating the final abroad will not only mean less revenue for Pak, it will shatter national pride, cause distress among Pakistanis fans, how many can afford to fly to Dubai? Only the elites, it was set a precedent which will be unhealthy and unsustainable should another team want to repeat in future.
Despite South Africa's violent suburbs the football final was held there, despite the crime in rio the olympics went ahead.
National pride is important dear!
