Loud Thinking

Archive for March, 2019

Mr. Prime Minister Pakistan as its “normal” now that some of the G-20 countries support any attack in RETALIATION of a “terror” incident [not withstanding the fact that it may be a False Flag operation] wherein, particularly France and the USA fully approved Indian attack on Pakistani territory on 2/26 and thereafter, obviously, on the basis of your own credible intelligence reports, you have repeatedly said many times that it was possible that India could sponsor a terrorist attack in Pakistan before the start of its general elections next month.

In this regard, would it not be prudent and a deterrent that Pakistan also announced to the world that any Indian or other nation’s sponsored terror attack on Pakistan, shall invite retaliatory jaw breaking riposte from Pakistan, as per the new international norms.

Now a million dollar question arises that why should Pakistan wait and absorb Indian sponsored state terrorism on our soil, when Indian officials (particularly its NSA Ajit Doval) have openly explained their intent of defensive offensive operations inside Pakistani territory?

PM Imran further told the journalists that it was possible that India could sponsor a terrorist attack in Pakistan

How to win the ODI World Cup 2019?

Dear Mr. Imran Khan Sahab.

AoA.

Sir,

In the first ODI at Sharjah vs the Australian cricket team, our boys lost the script in the first 10 overs of the power play, when only two fielders can field outside the 30 meters circle, with highly docile Test style batting, when they accumulated only 40 runs, whereas, in the last power power play of 10 overs, when five fielders are allowed outside the circle, our aggressive batting resulted in scoring 86 runs.

The above analysis proves that Imam up Haq and Shan Masood are NOT the material or horses for the opening batsmen’s slot for the ODI version of cricket. They can not take us to any success in the ODI World Cup matches, because the above named two batsmen are not capable of scoring 90+ runs in the first power play, even if, they are given opportunity to bat twice in an innings.

In this regard, despite PCB having given an uninterrupted looong free run, our selectors and so called team management (which also includes senior staff of NCA Lahore) have badly failed to produce three or four deserving openers for the ODI World Cup; and at the end of the day, Test openers are being wrongly been asked to perform the duties of the openers of the ODI games.

Mr. Prime Minister, you in your days as a playing cricketer always said and implemented the idea that in a playing eleven, every player has a specialised role, which in other words meant selecting horses for courses.

Under the circumstances, when another highly disappointing World Cup 2019 performance (just the ODI world Cup 2015) is writ large on the faces of top managers of the NCA, Selectors and the team management personnel, who get fatly paid by the PCB, the following questions must be asked by the new management of the PCB, to decide any emergent steps of changes, particularly, in the team management and in the team, as well, to salvage the situation for the ODI World Cup 2019:

NCA (High Performance Center of Excellence):

~Why no openers were groomed and polished for the World Cup who could score 90+ runs in the first power play?

~Why no power hitters produced, groomed and polished for the World Cup?

~ Why no genuine all rounders produced for the World Cup?

~ Why no fitness plan developed and implemented for the World Cup players, whereas, many of our players are looking visibly overweight and unfit; and no batsman is fit enough to run for five runs on his shot and medium pacers are bowling even below the 130 KMPH speed.

Selectors, Coaches and Captain Sarfaraz Ahmad:

~Why Shan Masood was included in the ODI team for South Africa, when he was not given a single chance to show his performance for the World Cup?

~Why Imam ul Haq given another chance against the Australian team when he was given due chances to play in all the five ODI matches in South Africa?

~ Why Rizwan was taken on tours but not given any chances?

~ If Shan Masood and Imam ul Haq have been tried from Test to ODI games why Sami Aslam and Fawad Alam has been ignored for even Test matches series, we recently lost vs New Zealand and South African teams?

~ Why Umar Amin was not considered for the five ODI matches against Australian team?

~Why Muhammad Amir has been given so many chances, when time and again, he has proved that he was a spent cartridge?

~Why players like Haris Rauf (LQ), Musa Khan(IU), Suhail Akhtar(LQ), Awais Zia (KK), Ehsan Ali(QG) and Wahab Riaz [PZ] (who bowled fastest ball in the PSL-4) have been never considered and given chances to prove their mettle for the World Cup2019 squad?

~Why players for the five matches against the Australians have not been selected on the basis of fitness test, when previously even a senior player like Umar Akmal was dropped on the basis that he could not pass the fitness test?

Most of the cautious people will argue that now there was very little time left to make changes of management and team personnel for the World Cup, which will mean that we have taken defeat or poor performance of our team, at the ODI World Cup 2019, as fait accompli, whilst, you
as our dynamite leader and Prime Minister always motivated the nation by educating that one is never defeated, till the defeat is accepted.

So, why to accept defeat even before the World Cup has started? Action is always better than inaction. PCB must act fast; and act now.

If Pakistan has to have any remote chance of playing the final of the ODI World Cup 2019, the entire team management and the selection committee along-with the complete NCA staff, needs immediate replacement; and the following may be considered as replacements for suitable positions:

1. Viv Richards
2. Zaheer Abbas
3. Majid Khan
4. Wasim Bari
5. Sarfaraz Nawaz
6. JAVED Miandad
7. Mohsin Hasan Khan
8. Moin Khan
9. Amir Suhail
10. Dean Jones
11. Aaqib JAVED
12.Waqar Younis
13. Wasim Akram
14. Muhammad Yousaf
15. IQBAL Wasim
16. Abdul Qadir
17. Mushtaq Ahmad
18. Rashid Latif

Terrorism is the scourge of the world and must be eliminated with all the strength at our disposal.

The decision of the some of the ICC members not to play cricket in Pakistan (on the pretext of security situation) after the 2009 incident of attack on the bus carrying Sri Lankan cricketers in Lahore, was a signal of weakness and helped playing straight into the hands of the terrorists, which not only gave a sense of a victory to the criminals, but was also a message that terrorism, pays.

Whereas, on the other hand, the world never stopped visiting Germany for tourism and sports after the:

~ 1972 Munich Olympics bloodbath (17 people killed including 6 Israeli Sports coaches and 5 Israeli athletes.)

~ The Oktoberfest bombing was a terrorist attack with a right-wing radical background. On 26 September 1980, 13 people died and 211 were injured after the explosion of an improvised explosive device (IED) at the main entrance of the Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany. The attack is considered to be the deadliest attack in Germany since World War II. The attack was attributed to the right-wing extremist and geology student Gundolf Köhler who was killed while placing the explosive device; however, doubts remain as to whether he acted alone.

~ On 22 July 2016, a shooting occurred in the vicinity of the Olympia shopping mall in the Moosach district of Munich, Germany. Ten people, including the perpetrator, were killed and 36 others were injured. The shooting took place at a McDonald’s restaurant near the shopping mall, in front of a Saturn electronics store nearby, and in the mall itself. The gunman, later identified as 18-year-old David Sonboly, died nearby from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. His motive was unclear, but thought to be political due to his right-wing extremist stands, which would also explain the chosen date. The investigation concluded at first it to be an apolitical mass-shooting motivated by xenophobia, mobbing, and psychological issues. After publication of three individual assessments in 2017, which concluded that there was a political motivation to the shooting, and the perpetrator’s links to other school schooters became known, the investigative authorities reopened the investigations in April 2018, which continue.

~ Similarly, no one stopped for a moment, visiting Vienna (Austria) after the OPEC siege on December 21, 1975, when six militants attacked the semi-annual meeting of OPEC leaders in Vienna, Austria; the attackers took more than 60 hostages after killing an Austrian policeman, an Iraqi OPEC security officer, and a Libyan economist. Several other individuals were wounded. The self-named “Arm of the Arab Revolution” group was led by Carlos the Jackal. The siege resulted in complex diplomatic negotiations. It ended two days later, after flights to Algiers and Tripoli, with all the hostages and terrorists walking away from the situation. The fact that this was one of the first times that Arab states were targeted by terrorists. Saudi oil minister Zaki Yamani and the other OPEC ministers were taken hostage by notorious terrorist Carlos (the Jackal) in Vienna, Austria. The hostages were released after two days riding an airplane across North Africa, even though Carlos was ordered by his superiors to execute Yamani and his Iranian counterpart Jamshid Amouzegar.

~ Also no one ever stopped visiting Britian for sports and tourism despite bombings that took place in Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and Great Britain since 1969. There were at least 10,000 bomb attacks during the conflict (1969–1998).

~ During the 27 years civil war in Sri Lanka (1983-2009) over two hundred thousand people were killed but normal sports activities and tours of foreign cricket teams continued. Even Cricket World Cup matches were held in Sri Lanka without any untoward incident.

~ In India during huge terror incidents, never once, any sporting team cancelled or shortened its tour from the country. Here it may not be out of place to mention that in the World’s list of terror incidents India has been always ranked among the top ten countries, but no sporting team declined to tour India.

~ It is very satisfying that since 2017 national cricket teams of Zimbabwe, West Indies, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh (ladies) plus the World X1 players have toured Pakistan and found it the most peaceful and secure place to play sports in any city of the country. Moreover, since 2017 many foreign cricketers, umpires and other officials (retired and active) have been to Pakistan in connection with Pakistan Super League cricket matches and confirmed that Pakistan was the most secure and comfortable country for cricket, other sports and tourism throughout the length and breadth of the country.

In view of the foregoing, it is earnestly hoped that the all sports organisations of the world, particularly, the ICC members will fully support New Zealand in its resolve to remain steadfast in defeating the terrorism; and keep on playing in New Zealand all the scheduled sports events and matches in the country despite today’s (Friday 15 March 2019) most abhorring and dastardly terrorism incident in their city of Christchurch, where almost 50 peaceful Muslims offering Friday prayers in two different mosques of the city, were most brutally massacred (which was also telecast live over the Internet in most gruesome manner which ashamed even the holocaust).

It is earnestly hoped that the ICC members must not make the same mistake with New Zealand, which they made with Pakistan, by declining to send their teams, which in fact, was the fulfilment of the aims of the terrorists, to isolate this country (Pakistan), which was the flag bearer of the fight against the world’s longest war on terror, ever fought over this planet.

Pakistan should be rewarded not punished for steadfastly and alone fighting and winning the war on terror for 18 continues years, where troops and resources of 49 NATO countries led by the full might of the USA, failed to defeat the scourge of terrorism and left Afghanistan, one by one, after even paying money to the enemy, to not to attack their soldiers.

Pakistan (which is as safe as any other country of the world but where world’s best Presidential style security is provided to the visiting sports teams) has been unnecessarily made to suffer by the policies of the some ICC members, which obviously played into the hands of the Indian propaganda) who on one hand, admit committing terror activities in Pakistan, as part of the Indian defensive offensive doctrine of their National Security Advisor Ajit Doval; and on the other hand, leave no opportunity for using sports, as a political tool, about which now IOC has already very swiftly and strictly taken action against entire sports bodies of India; and forthwith banned holding of any sports events to be organised in India, under the auspices of the IOC. It is high time now for the ICC to take the same punitive action against the BCCI for politicising the glorious game of cricket, in line with the policies of the International Olympic Committee and charter of the ICC, as well.

In view of the foregoing, now a time has come for the major ICC members like ECB, ACB, Cricket SA and NewZealand Cricket Board to immediately resume sending their teams to play in Pakistan, which as explained above, is comparatively much more secure country than Germany, Austria, France, UK, Ireland, India, New Zealand, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka & even the USA (remember terror strike bombing in the Atlanta Olympics USA of Centennial Olympic Park which was a domestic terrorist pipe bombing attack on the Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta, Georgia, on July 27 during the 1996 Summer Olympics. The blast directly killed 1 person and injured 111 others; another person later died of a heart attack).

Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.

From Pakistan With Love to All the Indians.

Happy New Year 2019..!

While wishing all the Indians a very happy, peaceful and prosperous new year 2019, we would like to inform everyone in India that if at all, we have to be friends, then that friendship must be in true sense; and we must not act and behave with each other, in a hypocritical manner.

We Pakistanis would also like to assure the Indians that even if we wanted, we can’t conquer India. At the same time even if India wanted, it can’t pull down Pakistan, without India being destroyed, as well.

So, why to waste our time and energies in an imaginary hatred policies?

Why to waste our precious resources, in being the prisoners of our foolish past?

From the first day of the new year 2019, let us bury our bitter past and be friends in true sense, like all the European countries.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

Let us have a genuine peace. Let India remove all its strike forces from the border without any fear. Let us join hands to wage a war against poverty, hunger, disease and illiteracy. Let us turn this subcontinent into a bastion of peace and a heaven on earth.

Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic slander and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease,
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.

India and Pakistan just need a period of single decade of genuine peace, to turn around its fortunes to emerge as the most potent economic and cultural power-house of this world.

The only condition is the genuine and authentic peace, like the one which exists in between the EU countries.

Why India and Pakistan should live for decades like divided Korea? Why both the countries can not live like united Europe?

Europe which was so divided that its residents fought two world wars; but now when sense has prevailed, Europeans are reaping the dividends of peace.

Now, when both India and Pakistan are nuclear powers, conquering one other is out of question, without Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD).

As such, those believing in success of low intensity wars are lunatics, living in fools paradise, like Hitler and Mussolini.

War between two nuclear neighbours is out of contention, because, even if one country using first strike option, annihilates the other neighbour, the fallout of nuclear radiation will leave the victor country, uninhabitable forever.

Thus, peace is the only option for India and Pakistan.

Don’t be afraid of problems between the two countries, because they will remain for ever, but we have to give priority to peace, over the problems.

Let us make a new start from the beginning of the new year 2018, with the slogan – Long live the friendship of the teeming millions of India and Pakistan.

Once again our kind regards and best wishes for a happy and prosperous New Year 2019 to all the Indians.

Nobel Peace Prize for the Inter Services Intelligence Agency of Pakistan (ISI).

The below given news item confirms that timely intelligence provided by the ISI to Pak government proved vital in averting a full blown nuclear war between Pakistan & India, which invariably would have had a catastrophic affect for the humanity all over the globe.

As such, the Nobel Peace Prize Organisation must consider awarding its Peace Noble Prize for the year 2019 to the ISI, for definitely saving our planet from certain extinction.

In this connection, it will not be out of place to mention that the Nobel Peace Prize has already been awarded 27 times to [organizations]
between 1901 and 2017.

24 individual organizations have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, as UNHCR, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, has received the Nobel Peace Prize twice, in 1954 and 1981.

In this regard, Nobel Peace Prize for 2013 was also awarded to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) “for its extensive efforts to eliminate chemical weapons”.

Therefore, it is strongly recommended to award the Nobel Peace Prize for year the 2019 to the Inter Services Intelligence Agency of Pakistan “for its extensive and monumental efforts to save the human species from certain extinction in a full blown nuclear war between Pakistan and India who jointly posses about 300 nuclear weapons”.

Dawn news item:
The source briefed a handful of journalists on the “dangerous attack” India had planned with the backing of Israel from its airbase in Rajasthan, located about a 100km from the international border with Pakistan. [Timely intelligence] and backdoor messaging made it clear to India that a befitting response would be given if it were to go ahead with this plan, one which would possibly take the two states to a “point of no return”.

The source credited [Pakistan’s premier intelligence agency, ISI,] as “one of the best in the world” and feared the next possible escalation by India would not be in terms of ground, air or missiles, but more likely in the form of a hybrid conflict in the nature of militant attacks, economic measures, etc, against Pakistan.
