"I think the Indian board's role in this whole affair of shifting the World Cup matches from Pakistan has been deplorable",Pakistani Sports Minister Pir Aftab Shah Jillani on Monday said implying that the Indian cricket board,BCCI influenced the game's world governing body's (ICC) decision in the matter.
There is an old saying,'We can wake up some body who is asleep,but we cannot wake up some body who is pretending to sleep.'This is absolutely true of each and every pakistani leader.
Does Mr.Jillani really believe that the world cup matches in pak was shifted out of pakistan because of the BCCI??
What about the blatant attack that happened in pakistan against the Sri Lankan cricket team?
Was that not the real reason??
No team was willing to go to pak,the terror capital of the world,even before that incident.Lankan players went there after they were promised the best possible security by pakistan.The whole world saw TV footage of the attackers walking away ever so casually from the site of the attack after their murderous assault,from which the Lankan players escaped miraculously..!!
The fact that till date no credible arrest or evidence against those who attacked the players are available with pak security agencies only point to their duplicity.
At one point in time some pak leaders said there was a credible Indian hand in the attack.Later they said there is no evidence for that claim.Again we heard they had evidence but after some days we heard them saying that they suspect an Indian hand but there is no evidence..!!!
Lot of confusion there,one can see...
In their over eagerness to put the blame on India,they are making a fool of themselves..
How on earth the ICC could take risk and compel any team,even a club team from some other country to go and play in pakistan,let alone international sides to play in pak,under the prevailing situation in pak,is some thing that all Pakistanis should ponder over.
As for India,we should just have a nice laugh at this latest empty balloon from pak.
Just to provide a glimpse of the conflicting statements arising out of pak,read below snapshot of a news item from net :
Pakistani cricket officials are making efforts to stage an exhibition Twenty20 match against India or Sri Lanka on the sidelines of next month’s World Twenty20 Championship in England to raise funds for the thousands of displaced people in the Swat Valley in northwestern Pakistan.
