firing on srilankan team

lamea
By lamea

Another embarassing situation for Pakistan. Some sri lankan team members are injured.I as a Pakistani am ashamed of a certain minority that enjoys killing innocent people. We all arent terrorists, infact we are peace and loving and sick of such negative members of society that give the rest of us a bad name.
I just heard about this incident. Does any one know the details?
I have also heard that the team wasnt the target but it was actually an exchange of fire between two gangs and the srilankan team were at the wrong place at the wrong time.

"Srilankan government beat tamil (india supported) so now indians are angry from Srilanka, they took the revenge in PAK, so that indians can get 2 objectives"

Ohh I mean, just WOW!!!! What an argument!!! Arien TCOM, you people are such nuts....

Well, Elics, FYI, this is something secrete and please don't open it. In fact India has many more objectives in this act. It took revenge in Pak and now Pak is totally disturbed, which made USA angry (3rd Obj). US bombarded missiles in Taliban, which made them angry (4th Obj). They are now planning the similar attack like 9/11, which made UK angry as it's US's friend, which makes China angry, which makes Russia angry...and so on...

Media is commercial, we should verify the news listening to 5 channels and confirm authenticity.

Listen/watch only to IBN7, NDTV (eng and Hindi) and AAJTAK and TIMES NOW (off course to BBC as well).

Now ICC world cup 2011 is in trouble...it may go out of sub-continent? India proposed that they could manage in India without Pak, SL and Bangladesh support (if high security concerns)

World has created lot many problems for pakistan which inludes some countries who have opted to use force instead of peaceful method to solve the problems in Afganistan.

Afghanistan was left behind after Soviets were defeated and that was the biggest mistake. Pakistan is the only one who had imparted great stability to Afghnaistan and again it is written on the wall that they all support Taliban. Inida only wants to get away with Kashmir.

Even now in near future Only Pakistan can impart satability to Afghanistan in sense that Tliban again come to power excluding Al qaida. USA is realising the same what i had before here in Qatar living months back. India cannot play any role in Afghnaistan even it tries to do so or any one else more than Pakistan. If USA chances its policy of using force instead of intelligence it will be a better option.

Anyways Pakistan has to stop Taliban cerating havoc inside it at any cost.

Tcom - none understands..

There is been blames but never a proof on India's involvements. Even this issue the first statement from their minister was India, then he swallows it.

Pak is at a sad state and requires help from the world to resolve it, which everyone is ready to extend.. Admit the fact that its an evil went out of your hands, lets kill it and save 1000s of innocents. Like UK stated today, UNITE THE WORLD to solve it within Pakistan.

Adnan,

"even India is helping those insurgents to create havoc in Pakistan and to push Pakistan under islolation..."

How will you prove this? India helped Afghan Government and condemned Taliban since its inception. Your allegation is baseless. I know Pakistan Government is helpless given the voilent nature of its people( not a generalization). Only better education, control over religious institutions, strict vigilence over terrorist activities and campaign against the motivating factors of terrorism will help Pakistan save face among the internationl community.

first thanks sag for giving a hint of truth to members...

ok mr soft2007.. ur comment was "They mostly cater India based viewers." so dn u think tht by doing so and making such comments on PAKISTAN will spread more hatered in hearts of indians about us?

i watch all the news channels either of pak or ind or cnn bbc evry chanel depending on tym but specially watch INDIA TV bcoz i want to see how rude n violent thy r to us... about pakage, so y u wanna knw it? i hv alot of pakages...

By adnanmzfr• 6 Mar 2009 16:40

There cannot be a blame on only Pakistan as there is a whole scale of disturbance in Afghanistan after the occupation and some concerned people in Pakistan are sure (with solid proofs) that even India is helping those insurgents to create havoc in Pakistan and to push Pakistan under islolation.

So there is a whole scale of blame game.

By sag• 6 Mar 2009 15:39

Adnan, you have to agree that the problem lies in Pakistan but its effect spreads across to India for one reason or the other. And that is the reason Indian IPL organisers are struggling to schedule their tournament. There is no excuse left for pakistan to escape the blame...

Attack on srilankan team is a sign of danger not for Pakistan but also for India as well. It can very well happen in India at anytime,i think that this event has destroyed the trust of the cricket teams else where in the world who plan to visit anywhere in south asia.

Therefore the India's desire to to show Pakistan as hostile area is very much counter productive.

Omershah, I agree that INDIA TV is disgusting. It is engaged 24 hrs in pakistan bashing. Zee news,star news and aajtak are also similar channels but to a lesser extent. I would advise you to watch NDTV India if interested in Indian news. It is a secular news channel. INDIA TV has majority of muslim employees who are overenthusiastic in winning Hindu hearts to promote their channel. They don't however realise that this will only spoil their cause. I am also sick of watching these channels...

and after all i want to say that most of pakis are not against indian, but its the indian media tht puts oil to fire...

and we get hot headed by seeing thm... there were many threads on mumbai attack on which i cud have commented but this tym indian media is directly speaking in a matter which not relate to their work... thy shud mind thier own business... INDIA TV is the channels indians have made only to destroy the image of pakistanis and it might build thier repotation as a channel but its of other hand giving more hatered to indians about pakistan...

By soft2007• 5 Mar 2009 11:12

This is a very unfortunate incident as far as cricket is concerned. What concerns me is the tendency of the Pakistanis to blame every thing except themselves. RAW, BRA may be my fart including. Victor pointed out rightly and as an Indian I strongly believe that a stable Pakistan is better in the long term interest of India.

Their population is feed on western and Indian hate in order to mask the failure of the ruling class and to sustain the huge spending army. They failed to provide any long term solution to their economy and manage on hand outs from donors.

I do accept that India too has its own problem of development and prosperity. But at least it is going in the right direction, progressing well and things are changing fast.

Unless and until Pakistan accepts that they have a serious problem as far as terrorism is concerned, this type of incidents will continue. It will have serious repercussions for the country and for the entire region.

I don't think there is strong political will to achieve this. Only time will tell what the future holds for that country.

the GT article is very clear my friend...it is the time to take some important decision and all sorts of important action to fight against the terrorism, which is Cancer to the society. Wait and watch; it is too early to talk who is behind and what are their motives?

Such incidents will not allow only pakistan to progress but it creats a great hindrance to the whole sub-continent countries ways to growth and prosperity.

I again repeat that all SAARC countries should join togather and fight against all types of terrorism within these nations (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, SriLanka and Nepal) immediately.

Think from the game CRICKET perspective; which is the ONE link which connect all these nations friendly.

the heat is getting on at QL at this issue....

so now.....

i would lyk to tell all those indians who are talking about Pakistan, "a little story...."

the speech might b booring but its very informative......... so read it

but first of all i wud lyk to tell that this matter has so many threads so i am posting a single comment on all the threads...

secondly i saw a comment by someone saying indians talk very nicely at QL but on the other hand Pakistanis dont.... so bro this is our Pakistani nature to speak out anything we have in our hearts.... v r not lyk these indians who will keep on showing u that thy r very nice and in the end u wl suddenly realise that thy were F**king u.... sorry for abusing lang.... any way its a gentle advise to u to not think that these indians are very straight.....

thirdly an indian said that india is not a nation who hides behind,,,, and he meant that thy are not afraid.... but i can surely BET that in any where in the world bring 100 indians in front of 50 Pakistanis.. and u wil see that 75 of them will run away and rest will be ........... u knw wht! a nation who cant handle 9 person for 2 day they were just ******* thm... wht can this nation do......

so a lot of comments now the main story......

at the time of mumbai attacks....

on one indian news channel a lady reporter took an interview of a victim came out of oberoi alive....

and the interview was:

lady rep: how are u feeling to be alive?

vic: its a new life.....

lady rep: how many of thm were inside?

vic: thy were aroud 4 of them....

lady rep: wht was going on inside? wht were thy talking? who were thy? have u heared anything?

VIC: "YES, I WANTED TO GO TO WASHROOM.... TWO OF THEM TOOK ME TO WASHROOM... THEY WERE PAKIS... THEY WERE TALKING TO THEIR HOMES IN PAK ON CALL... AND SUDDENLY THEY BOTH STARTED FIGHTING FOR SM ISSUE ON MONEY AND ONE OF THEM SAID IN END.. U DN WORRY.. INDIAN MINISTERS HAVE ALOT OF MONEY.. THY WILL SEND UR SHARE TO YOUR HOME.........."

so u can judge that who was behind mumbai attacks....

the same people are behind LAHORE incident the only diffrence is that tym thy used us to attack thm because thy didn wanted any clue left behind and knwed tht we r not afraid of being dead....

and this tym thy wanted the RAW agent bcoz thy knwed tht thy will run away......

so now any wise man can think y india pulled out of the tour coz thy knwed tht sri lanka will surely go PAK and thy can plot a coward act lyk this

with all respect to all my indian fellow n friends who knw me and who knw the situation.....

Sad but true, if the real people of Pakistan can react to this craziness, i think there could b some solution, for that the goverment should b stronge, and instead of wasting all the money in buyin guns & bullets, try educating these people from the very start to show and make them understand what life is worth...

Pakistan will no longer be able to host not only cricket matches but ANY sporting events for months, if not years to come because of this.

I feel badly for the majority of Pakistanis -- who, no doubt -- are embarrassed and upset over this incident -- because they are the ones who will have to pay the price for a small group of misguided men who think that attacking innocents is a way to further their aims (whatever they may be).

For your information the attacks happened in Pakistan. The LTTE is so cornered that they cant even cross the Palk Straits and you talk of them crossing the Arabian Sea to reach Pakistan.

Please check your "Information" before you claim RAW was behind the attacks.

India is not like the countries you know, to hide behind someone else for a fight.

that's what you get when you foster terrorism.

Pakistan is closing all its avenues for its propsperity and humanity is being taken over by the barbariasm.

India & ICC were correct in withdrawing their tournaments from Pakistan based on lame security.
