Lalit Modi exposes the ICC and the corruption of Indian cricketers..!
Is this not a fit case for the authorities in the UAE to investigate the role of ICC’s hand in conniving with and protecting Indian and other countries criminal match fixing syndicates?

Is ICC gloves in hand with IPL corruption in India?

Why CEO ICC Dave Richardson hushed up this complaint dated 20 June, 2013 lodged by Lalit Modi for over two years?

Why ICC has not yet asked the BCCI to inform the names of 12-15 Indian cricketers found maligned in the IPL matches fixing crime inquiry of the Indian Supreme Court?

Why the Anti-Corruption Unit of the ICC has ignored the huge match fixings in the IPL matches proved by the Mudgal Commission Report which led to the sacking of N Srinivasan as the BCCI chief?

Why ICC over reacted in the case of Pakistani players and banned them for 5 years even before the inquiry?

Why no Indian player banned by the ICC despite letter from L Modi and Mudgal Commission Report?

Are the ICC officials at the helm of the affairs beneficiaries of the match fixings of the IPL matches?

Is not the silence of the ICC on the huge IPL match fixings a crime of protecting a crime?

Why not ban the IPL which is a known and the biggest den of match fixing in the world?

IPL: Raina, Jadeja, Bravo were involved in bribing, alleges Lalit Modi

Posted by: Avinash Sharma | Sat, Jun 27, 2015, 21:40 [IST]

New Delhi, Jun 27: Controversial former IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi has now alleged that two leading Indian cricketers and a West Indian player had been bribed by an Indian real estate tycoon, who is also a bookmaker. London-based Modi tweeted a letter he claims to have written to International Cricket Council (ICC) CEO Dave Richardson in June 2013, passing on “some information that I have just got.”

Modi has named 3 Chennai Super Kings (CSK) players Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja and Dwayne Bravo in his letter who he claims were in close contact with the real estate tycoon who was also named in the letter.

He told Richardson that he could pass the same to the anti-corruption and security unit of the ICC if he thought so fit. Modi stated that he had been informed by “reliable sources” that the tycoon had paid in cash and kind to the three players.

He concluded by saying that “I hope this is not true but if true it could mean more are involved.” OneIndia News (With inputs from agencies) Read more about: ipl|

Dear Mr. Prime Minister,

AoA.

Sir,

I take this opportunity to invite your kind attention, towards the press release issued by the PCB (published in the daily “Dawn” dated 13 June, 2015) on the findings (submitted on 4th April, 2015 i.e., well before the BD tour) of the World Cup-2015 debacle Review Committee (RC) of the PCB, which consisted of 80% or four PCB’s own personnel (M/s Shahryar Khan, Najam Sethi, Subhan Ahmad & Iqbal Qasim) and only 20% or ONE external member, Mr. Wasim Bari.

According to the above mentioned press release of the PCB, the RC found the following 5 reasons of the Pakistan’s downfall, at this years World Cup:

1. Poor fielding.
2. Low fitness.
3. Inconsistent selection.
4. Lack of positive approach.
5. Dearth of strategic thinking.

Furthermore, the RC held the following responsible for the Pakistan’s poor performance:

1. Players.
2. Coaches.
3. Selectors.
4. THOSE RUNNING AFFAIRS OF THE BOARD.

Mr. Prime Minister, Sir, there is no need to remind you that leaving aside the World Cup debacle, our nation was even more badly humiliated by the pathetic performance of our cricket team, during the recently concluded tour of the Bangladesh, which CLEARLY proved that either the people at the helm of the affairs of the PCB, were absolutely nincompoop; or they were NOT ready to learn any lessons from the World Cup debacle.

Now, a stage has come where the PCB has virtually turned into a torture giving and insult inflicting organisation, for the cricket loving masses of Pakistan; who can only vent their anger, by not calling your government with good names.

Sir, as a غیرت مند قوم we can digest defeats in sports field, but can never forgive and forget those responsible for bringing heaps of shame and humiliation, to the name and prestige of Pakistan.

Now, since the OWN Review Committee of the PCB has held responsible “THOSE RUNNING AFFAIRS OF THE BOARD” and after this verdict against their own-selves, the PCB top notches have not yet resigned, it is time for striking your Zarb-e-Azab, on the whole rotting edifice of the PCB.

You are requested to IMMEDIATELY dissolve the Board of Governors of the PCB; and please Mr. PM, this time, set an example of NOT APPOINTING as head of the ad-hoc PCB board, from amongst your RELATIVES or FRIENDS.

Rather, the new head of the PCB may be a VISIONARY person, who is ready to accept the challenge of turning (in one year) the PCB into a world class organisation.

This goal can be easily achieved by splitting the cricket board in two units of Administrative Affairs & Cricketing Affairs, headed by persons with the designations of Director General, who are known for their competence, integrity and honesty.

The new head of the PCB must only be appointed, when you are personally satisfied about his capabilities, after his one on one, interview with you.

The DG Cricketing Affairs must also be a legendary competent Pakistani cricketer.

Wishing you all the success in your endeavours to make Pakistan, the best of the best in the world.

Best Regards,

Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad

 

Many months ago in the year 2013, I passionately advised the PM to take personal charge of the affairs of the country, before these finance and foreign affairs advisors messed up the the whole thing and bring the government to its knees:

Mr. PM! you will have to take personal charge

 

H’able Mian Nawaz Sharif Sahab,

Salaam.

The above mentioned news reported today on 10 July, 2013, by the jang.com.pk that Saudi Arabia and UAE are providing (interest free and conditions free) cash and kind assistance of $8 billion to Egypt, further highlights the importance of my three doable suggestions put forward for your kind consideration in my article titled “Mr. PM! there are three options to avoid IMF loan”.published in the daily “The News” dated 27 June, 2013 links:-

http://www.thenews.com.pk/Todays-News-13-23752-Mr-PM!-There-are-three-options-to-avoid-IMF-loan

http://images.thenews.com.pk/27-06-2013/ethenews/t-23752.htm

In this regard, vide my email dated 9 July, 2013 addressed to your honour, titled “Few Suggestions to Revive Economy, Fast Track Improvements in Energy Crisis and Nation Security Policy” the possibility and practicability of option No.2, of my above mentioned article was duly elaborated for the convenience of your finance team as below:

Quote. “Your kind attention is invited to my earlier email informing that the news that Abu Dhabi has planned a $50 billion investment in India; and the negotiations are at a very advanced level. Abu Dhabi has the WORLDS BIGGEST SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUND . Now considering the following plus points of Pakistan:

i. Pakistan is the only country in the world which allows foreign investors to repatriate 100% profit and investment without any hassle.

ii. There is no income tax on IPP’s in Pakistan.

iii. The Indians are severely annoying the Abu Dhabi people with objections on their deal of Etihad Air with Jet Airways of India, which will give EA rights over 37,000 weekly seats in India, after EA purchases 24% shares of Jet Airways. Pakistan must grab this opportunity and offer a suitable agreement with PIA. Indian Jet Airways is in much more bad financial shape than PIA and is owned PRIVATELY.

iv. Pakistan should also offer to Abu Dhabi, management sharing in other avenues like, Port Qasim, KPT, steel mills, OGDC, PNSC etc., in lieu of their investment.

v. Pakistan can also offer to Abu Dhabi to invest in new Islamabad Airport, expansion and development of other airports, helicopter and small planes air taxi service to and from big cities to many smaller cities and towns, and development and export of world class fisheries, corporate farming, export of dairy products, fruits, flowers etc.

vi. Abu Dhabi had a very long and successful JV experience with Pakistan viz., Pak Arab Fertilisers Limited. Now they can be offered such JV’s for Refineries, Oil and Gas explorations, defence related production items and air craft manufacturings etc.”Unquote.

Mr. Prime Minister, this news of cash and kind (interest free and conditions free) financial help of Egypt, by the KSA and UAE proves that Pakistan was deliberately forced to take IMF loan with very high repeat very high interest rate of 3%, coupled with conditionality’s. Further, it has also proved that we have completely failed in convincing our Arab friends and 49 NATO countries led by the USA, that helping Pakistan is helping the world and its neighbours, against the menace of terrorism, mainly because Pakistan is the front line state against this world war of terrorism, for the last 13 years. Our friends and allies should be cognisant of the fact that the more Pakistan goes into poverty and economic deprivation, the more this situation will breed the terrorists.

In view of the foregoing, Mr. Prime Minister, you are passionately requested to personally take the charge of the economic policies of Pakistan, vis-a-vis it’s friends, to save Pakistan from the stranglehold of IMF and the World Bank; and from the tunnel vision of our financial and foreign affairs experts. This is all the more necessary because business as usual will never deliver (like the lousy suggestions of increasing tax burden and enhancing utility services rates, so that the ages old policy of penalising the honest common man and rewarding rich scoundrels, continues in this tenure as well, which obviously is the best recipe of an early demise of ANY government).

Pakistan needs nothing, except out of box solutions, which is only possible from a fearless leader and not a timid person, because a timid person like Pervaiz Musharraf, can rule a country, but he can never rule the hearts of his subjects.

With Best Wishes and Kind Regards,

Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad

Mr. Modi you are striving for “make in India” just see below a glimpse of MADE IN PAKISTAN..!

MADE IN PAKISTAN: Pakistan’s contribution to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) – the world’s largest and most powerful particle collider, the largest and most complex experimental facility ever built, and the largest single machine in the world – situated at the underground CERN facility in Switzerland and France. Photo shows a high-rate Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) installed in the LHC, which was designed jointly by the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) and the National Centre for Physics (NCP), Islamabad, and manufactured at the Heavy Mechanical Complex (HMC), Taxila, Pakistan. Out of a total of 300 RPCs installed in the LHC, 245 (plus 43 spares) were manufactured in Pakistan. Pakistan won the contract for 288 RPCs by beating competitive bids from Chinese and Japanese firms, including Kawasaki Heavy Industries. The LHC is being used to trace the origins of the Universe and, in 2012, led to the discovery of the sub-atomic particle known as the Higgs-Boson, or the “God Particle”.

Shame on India for lying to the world..!

Indian lies have no legs..!

Hope the world remembers that on the first day it was reported by India that they conducted a joint operation of Indian and Myanmar Forces inside Myanmar.

Later on, India retracted and said no, it was only Indian operation conducted by its own forces.

Now the Indian ballon has been finally pricked by the following statements of Myanmar and NSCN-K authorities that:

This so-called operation was conducted on Indian Soil and NOT in the area of Myanmar..!

Further, the statement of NSCN-K that areas shown in the TV footages were non-existent and they don’t have areas with coconut trees and well-maintained footpaths or gardens, has blown the myth of the Indian fantasy to smithereens.

Come on #ICC learn from #FIFA ..!

When one of the core values of the #ICC is #TRANSPARENCY then why #ICC is NOT demanding from the #BCCI to disclose the names of ALL Indian cricketers found involved in Indian SC’s appointed #Mudgalcommissionreport (http://m.firstpost.com/sports/forget-srinivasan-the-biggest-concern-is-dhoni-lying-to-mudgal-commission-1814681.html).

Quote. “Forget Srinivasan, the biggest concern is Dhoni lying to Mudgal commission
by FP Sports Nov 21, 2014 11:12 IST

The 25-page Justice Mukul Mudgal Committee’s report on IPL spot-fixing is out and while it has named four out of the 13 individuals probed, the identity of the remaining nine haven’t been revealed to protect their privacy.

Gurunath Meiyappan is mentioned as individual No. 1, Raj Kundra No. 11, Sundar Raman No. 12 and N Srinivasan No. 13.

The interesting part of the report is that two persons – individual 2 and individual 3 — who find a mention in the report.

The mysterious individuals have raised a lot of questions. The report says that N Srinivasan and other four BCCI officials were aware of the violation of the Players Code of Conduct by Individual 3 but didn’t take any action. The report also mentioned that individual 2 was in constant touch with Gurunath Meiyappan and frequently met him in the hotel room.

Questions have now surfaced whether the individual 2 is India and CSK captain MS Dhoni?
Pradeep Magazine in this article on Hindustan Times says, “I, like a million others, am curious to know who are Individuals 2 and 3 referred to in the report, and why have they been mentioned.

“The report says that Individual 2 met Gurunath Meiyappan in his hotel room a number of times.
Why should this constitute a crime?

If he is a Chennai Super Kings (CSK) player he is bound to meet a man acting as a team official. To decipher this mystery, one has to go back to the first report on the basis of which the Supreme Court had ordered a second probe.”
“In it, India and CSK captain MS Dhoni was recorded as saying that Meiyappan was not playing the role of a team official and Dhoni had not or rarely met him outside the playing field. But the Mudgal panel felt Dhoni had lied, and this point was heatedly debated in the court.”
Firstpost’s Tariq Engineer had earlier written an article where he has mentioned how Dhoni hid the truth about Meiyappan.

“The report, a copy of which is with Firstpost, states that “Mr. M.S. Dhoni, Mr. N. Srinivasan and officials of India Cements took the stand that Mr. Meiyappan had nothing to do with the cricketing affairs of Chennai Super Kings and was a mere cricket enthusiast supporting CSK.”

It is worth remembering that in a 2011 interview with the Hindu Business Line, Meiyappan said the following:
“Before every game, Dhoni, Fleming and I exchange our elevens at 5.45 p.m. (for the night matches).”
And this:
“Fleming and I spent countless hours in the lead-up to the auction. In the last three days, we conducted mock auctions, picked around 45 different combinations.”

That certainly sounds like Meiyappan had a lot to do with the cricketing affairs of CSK.”

Magazine goes on to say, “In their second report, when the panel says that Individual 2 met Meiyappan a number of times in his hotel room, it should become clear who this player is and why this “trivial” fact is significant. It shows Meiyappan was in regular touch with the captain, and that the captain had lied to the Mudgal panel.”

A report in Mumbai Mirror revealed that the individual 3 in question is a ‘star Indian player who is a part of the current Indian team’

These are indeed worrying signs for Indian cricket.”Unquote.

Why #ICC is mum over #IPL match fixing scandal and not forcing the #BCCI to expose the names of the players found involved in the match fixing inquiry report of #Mudgal Commission?

#ICC must not be a party with those who are protecting match fixing criminals. And if the #BCCI is refusing to disclose the names of the match fixing Indian players, then it should ban all international cricket with #India till such time the #BCCI comes clean on this issue.

#India must not be allowed to hide and protect its players who are involved in #match #fixing.

Encourage More Debate at Work

One of the myths about “great workplaces” is that conflict is rare. We believe that workplace disagreements are undesirable, that they’re distracting and hurt productivity. But research reveals that in many cases, disagreements fuel better performance. While personality clashes, or differences in values, can indeed be detrimental, conflicts that center on how work is performed can produce better decisions and stronger financial outcomes. Healthy debate encourages group members to think more deeply, scrutinize alternatives, and avoid premature consensus. The experience of open deliberation can actually energize employees by providing them with better strategies for doing their job. Instead of avoiding disagreements to maintain group harmony, create an environment in which thoughtful debate is encouraged. When no one is challenging you to think differently, you get stuck doing things the way you’ve always done them.

“The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he’s always doing both.”
