An odyssey of the new Pakistani Shining star of the cricketing world..!

16 December 2019
(Congratulations to Pakistan that Abid Ali is the only Cricketer of this planet who has scored a century in his first ODI match and then in his first Test match)

Reproduced below is an excerpt from my 8 December 2019 write up titled (Murder of merit – Accountability mantra of the PCB) about Abid Ali:

Quote:
“5. Abid Ali He has proved his mettle in the ODI version. Looks that deliberately he was not included in the T20 squad of Australia to unjustifiably push up Imam ul Haq and as a consolation, he was included in the Test squad (for NOT playing in the two Test matches vs Australia). Now, PCB has reposed confidence in his abilities for the Test matches (one of the reasons for losing so badly against Australia was not including him in the playing eleven).
It is hoped that he will come out with flying colours (if given chance by including him in the playing eleven against Sri Lankan team; as selectors favourite Imam ul Haq is miserably out of form) from the toughest test of his life, which will AUTOMATICALLY CATAPULT him to OVERNIGHT STARDOM.
Not selecting Abid Ali for the T20 matches squad was another proof of the failure of the chief selector, immaturity and lack of acumen of the new T20 captain, absolute oversight failure of the highly paid CEO PCB and total collapse of the command of the exalted office of the chairman PCB. Unquote.”

Post Script:- Abid Ali was selected for the ODI World Cup 2019 held in England few months back, but was sent back to ensure a place for Imam ul Haq, who was the most non-deserving batsmen and poor fielder, resulting in the total disaster at World Cup.

Responsible persons:

1. Inzam ul Haq + All silent/obedient selection committee members
2. Micky Arthur
3. Sarfaraz Ahmad
4. Wasim Khan
5. Ehsan Mani
6. Mr. Imran Khan Active Patron in Chief PCB who was forewarned (about the wrong selection of the players) repeatedly (much earlier) about the impending disaster at the World Cup 2019.

Then again the following were responsible for self afflicted humiliation over Pakistan when Abid Ali was excluded in the T20 squad for three T20 matches in the home series against the depleted Sri Lankan team, T20 series matches vs the Australian team and two Test matches series vs Australia in Australia:

1. Misbah-ul-Haq Niazi + the most brilliant, professional and daring team of selectors who were so outspoken on TV programmes.
2. Sarfaraz Ahmad (for excluding Abid Ali in the squad of 3 T20’s played in Lahore vs the depleted SL Team)
3. Babar Azam (for excluding Abid Ali from the squad of 3 T20’s played in Australia and instead including Imam ul Haq). Babar Azam proved that he was a utterly wrong choice for the leadership role.
4. Azhar Ali (for not including Abid Ali in the play eleven in the two Tests in Australia despite keeping him in the squad). The sooner this non-leader is shunted out of the team the better it will be for Pak cricket.
5. Wasim Khan
6. Ehsan Mani
7. Board of governors PCB
8. Ministry of IPC
All the above really really let down Pakistan on so many occasions in such an unbelievable manner when they were trusted with the task to act, intervene and speak for the dignity, prestige and honour of the motherland.

Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad

My dear countrymen,

AoA.

I take this opportunity to earnestly appeal every Pakistani living in Pakistan and abroad to kindly join hands in forcing all the politicians (in government and in the opposition) to shun politics from the development of Pakistan, for the sake of our coming generations.

Our country of 220 million population can only move forward, if it is absolutely united and totally focussed, on economic emancipation of the teeming millions, rather than busy in infighting and planning to topple one government, after the other.

A time has come for all of us to forgive and forget everyone, without any exception, to make a new and fresh start, as if, Pakistan was created today.

In this regard, It is the cardinal responsibility of the ruling leadership to unite the country and involve each and every person in the nation building, which is not the job of years, but of decades.

Without the involvement of every Pakistani in nation building, there is no other way we can take Pakistan to the comity of developed nations.

We have already wasted all the 73 years, after the independence of Pakistan, in the unaffordable luxury of POLITICS.

Let us now put the horse of “nation building” before the cart and shun politics for a few decades, by way of complete and absolute involvement of every segment of society, cutting across the lines of party or any other politics of cast, creed, religion and colour etc.

As such, first we need to involve the entire intelligentsia of Pakistan from government, as well as, opposition side, including all learned Pakistanis from the academia in Pakistan and abroad, to compile a Charter of Development for Pakistan (CODP2020), for the next 100 years.

However, the above proposed (CODP2020 -2120) should have a base to compile and work upon, for which it is suggested to form the Task Forces (mostly to be HEADED by non-PTI non-government members, but PTI and government experts should be members of these Task Forces) on the following subjects, to submit their reports to the Prime Minister, for jumpstarting engine of growth and development of our motherland, in maximum 20 days (even if they have to work day and night).

1. ‪Suggestions for development road map for advanced technologies like Robotics & Artificial Intelligence.

2. Suggestions for utilising social media power and out of box and innovative ways for Population Control.

3. Eradication of Radicalism and elimination of Extremism, increasing Crimes against females and Child population (like acid throwing and child abuse and molestation) & Control of Terrorism.

4. Ways for implementation of Rule of Law for everyone without exception and Legal, Jail and Judicial Reforms.

5. Proposals for Police Reforms for creating a modern times Policing and revamping of driving license issuance system to bring it at par with the best of the world standards.

6. Enhancement (specially in the future technological fields) of defence capabilities with special reference to countering the use of 5th & 6th generation war tactics by enemies and use of upper space technologies for defence of motherland and ways for creation of culture of discipline and fitness among the entire male and female population of the country, by compulsory military enrolment in National Guards Service for three years.

7. Suggest ways for a fast track elimination of Polio, Hepatitis and HIV/AIDS by utilising the benefits of social media. Also suggest emergency ways how to make DRUG FREE, our new/young generation (in educational institutions and in society) of boys and girls in particular and overall country population in general.

8. Plans for water conservation and floods control and approvals/consensus for building of future dams and compulsory rain water harvest decisions.

9. Development plans of Alternative Energy Resources, with time bound targets.

10. Suggestions for how to create a culture of R&D in the Educational and Industrial sectors?

11. Blue print for how to make use of Information Technology towards the quest of achieving a quantum leap from the primitive agricultural practices towards the modern agricultural systems, specially for the small holdings poor farmers?

12. Blue print of how to turn around Pakistan into a modern industrial & technological giant and to have a Labour Policy commensurate to that status?

13. Policy for modern practices for Mining & Rare Earth Metals (REM), which can turnaround Pakistan as the richest nation of the world, with its current hidden wealth of over $ 51 trillion, which can be compared with the current total GDP ($58 trillion) of the top 10 countries of the world. This huge wealth can help us a lot in our ascendency in control of the world from the upper space in the coming decades.

14. Proposals for Telecom Policy with special focus on 5G & 6G and its usage in population control, health issues and alleviation of poverty.

15. Proposals for Development of Services Sector. It will not out of place to mention that share of services sector in the GDP of USA is 80%.

16. Suggestions for development of Medium and Small Scale industrial base, in a given time frame.

17. Suggestions for world level Tourism facilities, Hotels & Air Taxi services for inaccessible areas.

18. Blue print of Modern Aviation Policy.

19. Suggestions for attaining world’s leadership role in the fields of Science, Technology & Space Research and how to make SUPARCO a world class organisation with active participation of private sector resources.

20. Revamping on modern lines of Real Estate & Buildings Constructions policy and rules already in practice in the modern countries.

21. Practical and doable proposals for our new Education system for the next 100 years with the aim of 100% literacy & minimising the physical burden of books over the back of the child students by using Information Technology.

22. Suggestions for Modern Health policy and facilities for all (particularly for the rural population) with special emphasis on general fitness of population with motto of “Prevention is better and cheaper than cure.”

23 Suggestions for maximising e-commerce trade, plastic Banking, Insurance & Investment facilities (specially in the Stock Exchanges) for the poor masses; and quantum increase proposals for foreign exchange remittances from the expatriate nationals.

28.Suggestions for reduction of taxes & their rates, proposals for minimising corruption in society, increasing tax and non tax revenue and suggestions for fast track Poverty Alleviation from our society.

29. Suggestions for a modern environment policy which must have the participation of entire 220 million population with extremely harsh and severe unpardonable penalties ranging from Rigorous imprisonments to death sentence.

30. Suggestions for urgent steps to bring to Pakistan an Autonomous Transportation System (fuel less and driver less).

31. Suggestions for devising a new Foreign Policy mainly based on furthering economic interests on Pakistan.

32. Suggestions for development of Pakistan as a top nation producing Halal foods.

33. Suggestions for development of modern and innovative Privatisation Policy to immediately cut the losses of billions of Rupees being incurred by SOE’s.

34. Proposals for controlling with an iron hand the menace of adulteration of food/edible items and fake medicines etc. (which creates a major burden on our health sector budget) with most harsh unpardonable penalties up-to the death sentence.

35. Proposals for improvements in the following sectors:

~ Accountability of all citizens without any exception and free of any influence.

~ Current Parliamentary System of Pakistan.

~ How to implement the proposal of converting every division into a province, unit or riasat.

~ Current Bureaucratic structure, workings and efficacy of Public Service Commissions and any benefits of direct hirings of experts/technocrats at all levels of government positions.

~ Benefits of outsourcing the job of FBR to some capable private entity which should guarantee 100% increase in tax revenue in two years time.

True to his reputation, Mr. Imran Khan led from the front, on behalf of the sleeping Muslim Ummah to ensure that blasphemous caricatures issue is nipped in the bud.

The greatness of a general not lies in waging and winning the war, but in achieving the objectives, without waging a war.

It is one of the traits of a world level statesman to diffuse any potential crisis, before it blows up into a problem of life and death, for the humanity.

In this regard, the whole world must be thankful and the UN Security Council should pass a resolution of thanks to the proactive leadership of Mr. Imran Khan, in saving it from plunging into a serious challenge of an highly inflammable conflict between followers of different major religions of the world.

Full marks to statesmanship of Mr. Imran Khan, for personally taking the charge to effectively serve the cause of Muslim Ummah.

Mr. Imran Khan rightly deserves the title of Khadim ul Muslameen or Khadim e Islam and also deserves Nobel Peace Prize for a great service towards the cause of interfaith peace and harmony.

Why Pakistan is a zero medal country in the Olympics since 1994?
Mr. Prime Minister, please sack the sports minister and dissolve all sports bodies of Pakistan, because, if these persons are not there, we will save billions and can’t go below zero medal level.
In Atlanta Olympics 1996 Great Britain ended up 36th on the medals table with only one Gold. They were behind Ethiopia,Nigeria,Algeria,Spain & Italy.
The whole nation protested so vehemently that their sports officials went into hiding with shame and disgrace.
They revamped the entire sports bodies and brought in Olympic medal winners in all bodies. Selected few disciplines in which they could concentrate and went about preparations.
In Rio, they finished number two with 46 Gold Medals, after USA.
Unless, there is a ruthless accountability of blood suckers, who are leeching on to our sports for decades, there would be no change.

Respected Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif Sahab,
اسلام و علیکم
Sir,

The subject mentioned article is submitted for your personal kind perusal and is based on an old maxim quoted as below:

“The battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton”.
(i) The British were given to believe the real reason which tipped the balance in their favour in wars was the superior character of its young men built in boarding schools while playing games like cricket.

(ii) Eton was one of the famous English boarding schools that trained English boys for careers in the military, civil service and the church. (DAANISH Schools of the Punjab Government are a great example of a visionary project to turn around the fortunes of the future generations of Pakistan).

(iii) Famous public schools saw team sports like cricket not just as outdoor play, but as an organised way of teaching English boys, the discipline, the importance of hierarchy, the skills, the codes of honour and the leadership qualities that helped them build and run the British Empire.

(iv) Through the game of cricket-the ideal that cricket was played not for victory or profit but for its own sake, in the spirit of fair play, the British imperialists sought to justify their conquests and glorify the self image of English elite as “unselfish acts”.

(v) Though it suited the English ruling class to believe that it was the superior character of its young men built on playing fields that tipped the balance, the Napoleanic wars were won due to the economic resources of England. It was progress in trade and industry which made England, the world’s greatest power.

As such, a humble effort is made with the subject mentioned article reproduced below, to raise this nation’s full economic potential in trade and industry, through a physically super-fit Pakistani population, which must collectively believe in the saying “healthy body healthy mind’.

Last but not the least, we have to consider the 200 million population of Pakistan, as a huge manpower asset of this planet, which needs to channelise its positive energy into specific future goals, set by the nation’s visionary leadership. The national leadership must also determine, how to achieve these goals.

ARTICLE.

It is no secret that how politics coupled with corruption, has spoiled the sports in the country, which has earned the DUBIOUS distinction of the worlds BIGGEST nation, NOT to have earned a single medal in the Olympics, since the year 1994. While, much smaller and poorer countries like Ethiopia, Afghanistan and Kenya, have proved that winning medals at international level is just a matter of commitment, dedication and simple hard work, sans politics.

In the past, luckily our cricket, hockey, squash and some other sporting teams and players have been bringing laurels for Pakistan; with very little money, extremely small size governing boards and minimal politics.

Gradually, the foundations of key sports in Pakistan were eaten up by the greed of money, rampant corruption, nepotism, politics and incompetencies of the successive governments, sports managers and the players combined.

If, we have to put the sports in Pakistan back on the right track, two basic things are necessary.

Firstly, a vision and secondly, visionary and totally focused sports leadership, to put Pakistan back on top, at the worlds’ sports map.

As far as, the vision is concerned, nothing ever said about sports can match the following quote of Mr. Nelson Mandela, “Sport has the power to change the world…it has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than government in breaking down racial barriers.”

Now, taking a cue from the above mentioned statement of Mr. Nelson Mandela, it is suggested that Pakistani government should slightly re-phrase it and declare the following as its VISION statement:

“Sports has the power to change Pakistan…it has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite Pakistani people in a way that little else does. It speaks to the Pakistani youth in a language they understand. Sports can create hope for the entire Pakistani nation, where once there was only despair, lawlessness, hunger, unemployment, poverty, drugs, suicide bombings and alarming increase of suicides due to the economic hardships. It is more powerful than government in breaking down the menace of terrorism which has blown the country to the smithereens.”

Moreover, sports raised in the country on modern and scientific lines can be one of the biggest economic sector; providing employment, reducing poverty and drastically improving public health and fitness levels.

Under an sports advisor to the Prime Minister, we need to have a Pakistan Sports Commission (PSC) responsible for central planning under the banner میرا پاکستان sports system.

Under the this system, Pakistan will root out talented young children and put them in special academies from as young as four years old. If they are able to progress, athletes who make the cut should be put into a relentless training programme, filled with targets they must regularly hit, and paid by the government a monthly wage of Rs.60,000/-

Each year, the best athletes should then be sent to national training centres to be established at all the provincial capitals, where they will compete to enter Pakistan’s national team.

If they will succeed, they will move with their families into these training centres and live there all year round. These centres will train the sportspersons having the following mission statement:

“There will be no breakthrough without the hardest hardship. You cannot be a champion without going through the ultimate pressure”.

For as long as they will be successful, the national team members will benefit from perks including air tickets for their parents to watch them compete and, in some cases, sponsorship deals.

Sportspersons who will win medals in international competitions, or with national titles, can attend university after their career ends, with the tuition fee paid for, by the government.

The Pakistan Sports Commission (PSC) should have three units under the Advisor on Sports to the PM, namely the administrative departments, sport competition management centres, and other support and services institutions.

The PSC will be closely tied with All Sports Federations of Pakistan and the Pakistan Olympic Committee (POA). Besides forming strategies for sport development, overseeing their implementation, and developing mid- and long-range sport development plans, the PSC will be responsible for 9 number of functions as detailed below:

1. Creating a national sport framework

2. Promoting physical activity and exercise participation in schools and local and regional communities

3. Organising national sporting events

4. Organising international sport events in Pakistan.

5. Enforcing antidrug and anticompetitive measures.

6. Supporting research into the development of sports.

7. Implementing regulations governing the sport industry, sport market, and sport-related business activities.

8. Implementing national physical training standards and supervising public health in coordination with the Ministry of Health.

9. Overseeing sport activities with foreign associations and teams, and sport-related cooperation and communication with foreign countries.
To fulfill the nation’s Olympic strategies and ambition, the PSC and sport authorities at the provincial level will play a key role in promoting sport development in Pakistan.

One of the strategies should be the sponsorship of the Pakistan National Games (PNG), modelled after the modern Olympic Games; the PNG will be the largest and most important sport extravaganza in Pakistan. Each province-level administrative unit should send a team to compete in the PNG. The preparation for and competition at the PNG will allow the government to cultivate elite Pakistani athletes for major world competitions.

The essence of Pakistani Olympic strategies and ambition will be a unique system of selecting and training elite athletes.

Pakistan will become one of the few countries in the world that dedicate and use spare-time sport schools extensively to train and prepare future elite athletes. A spare-time sport school will be a boarding school specialized in sport and established to train Olympic hopefuls. Students will be selected for their athletic talent. They will take academic classes in the morning and engage in rigorous sport training sessions in the afternoon. These sport schools will serve as a reserve pool for elite sport teams at the provincial and national levels.

The Sports Law of Pakistan should became effective within six months of the formation of the PSC, becoming the first fundamental legal document for sport.

The Sports Law will establish the main tasks and key principles in managing the sport industry, confirming the importance of mass sport, and identifying the duties and responsibilities of sport-related organizations.

Essentially, the law will set the framework for the development of modern sport in Pakistan. The enactment of the law will signify that the sport industry in Pakistan has entered a new era under the protection of the country’s legal system.

Based on the Sports Law, local governments at provincial and city levels will have the right and authority to make their own rules for managing sport within their jurisdictions.

The Plan for Olympic Glories should also be released by the PSC within six months of its formation. The plan should outline three goals:

(a) restructuring the system in elite sport training and management.

(b) enhancing the elite athlete delivery pipeline and system (including sport schools).

(c) endeavours to maintain the nation’s leading position in world sport competitions.

The PSC should also promulgate the guidelines for a national fitness program. The guidelines should be drafted with the aim of improving the health and the overall physical condition of the general population.

The guidelines will encourage everyone, especially children and adolescence, to engage in at least one sporting activity every day, learn at least two ways of keeping fit, and have a health examination every year.

The aim will be that by 2020 about 40 percent of Pakistan’s population would be regularly participating in physical activity and that clear improvement would take place in the physical fitness level of Pakistani citizens.

In this modern era sports needs professionalisation which will lead to commercialisation; this means that sports associations become profit-making entities and that there will be a club system and professional sports leagues will also be formed. Sports clubs operations will cover ticket sales, advertising, club transfers, commercial matches, and television broadcasting.

This will open for world wide sports playing and related job opportunities for Pakistani sportspersons.

How champions take their game to the next level.

What makes the great ones great..!

How did Michael Jordan help lead his team to win six NBA championships? Many of us know Michael as a tremendous three-point shooter, but what was surprising that when Michael joined the NBA, he was celebrated only as a high–flying dunker, making a mere 17 percent of his three–point shots! And early on in his career, the Chicago Bulls were consistently knocked off in the playoffs because of their apparent lack of teamwork.

So what did Michael have to do, as a leader, to convert winning games into winning championships?

The answer is: he had to consistently adjust his game in order to adapt to the changing seasons, strategies, and opponents.

Turns out, constant adaptation was the only way to remain successful and dominant.

So are you directing your time and energy to the right areas of your life? Are you focusing on changes that will propel you beyond good…to Greatness?

If not, Don Yaeger has written a marvellous book titled “What Makes the Great Ones Great: 16 Characteristics of a Champion”, to help anyone take his game to the next level.

In his book, What Makes the Great Ones Great: 16 Characteristics of a Champion, Don Yaeger gives us some basic principles on how great winners set themselves apart by thinking, preparing, working, and living differently.

Don is an exceptional writer and has had 5 books on the New York Timesbestseller list.

He is also a great speaker who shares his message with audiences all over the world. I’m honoured to compile brief excerpts of 16 characteristics of a champion as below:

Habits found among the greatest champions, and most successful people of all time.

1. It’s Personal
The Great ones hate to lose more than they love to win.

2. Inner Fire

They use adversity as fuel.

3. Rubbing Elbows

They understand the value of association.

4. Do Unto Others

They know character is defined by how they treat those who cannot help them in return.

5. Visualise Victory

They see victory before the game begins.

6. When No One is Watching

They are comfortable in the mirror. They live their life with integrity.

7. What Off-Season?

They are always working towards the next game. The goal is what’s ahead, and there’s always something ahead.

8. Hope for the Best, But…

They prepare for all possibilities before they step on the field.

9. Contagious Enthusiasm

They are positive thinkers. They are enthusiastic… and that enthusiasm rubs off.

10. Ice in Their Veins

They are thoughtful risk-takers and don’t fear making a mistake.

11. Not Just About the Benjamins

They don’t play just for the money.

12. Records are Made to be Broken

They know their legacy isn’t what they did on the field. They are well-rounded.

13. Believe

They use adversity as fuel.

14. The Ultimate Teammate

They will assume whatever role is necessary for the team to win.

15. When Everyone is Watching

They embrace the idea of being a role model.

16. When All Else Fails

They know how–and when–to adjust their game plan.

(This is not my write up, just compilation from Simple Truths and excerpts from What Makes the Great Ones Great by Don Yaeger)

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”.

Survival in collective support..!

About half a decade ago, I wrote on 13 August, 2010 that:

Quote.”So any future planning, must also be in coordination with and take care of the interests of the neighbouring nations, because no single country has the capacity to survive the adversities of the nature, alone.” Unquote.

My writings of 29 October, 2010 and 13 August, 2010 are as below.

Charter of Pakistan. A Clarion Call for The Survival
October 29, 2010 at 6:38pm

The demand of Mian Nawaz Sharif for a charter of Pakistan is a clarion call. Now the time has come to separate the growth, development, eradication of poverty & security of Pakistan from politics forever.

All other stake holders in Pakistan must immediately come forward for deciding about the direction of the future of the nation. In this regard, I will suggest that, we should aim to bring Pakistan, to the level of Singapore of 2010, by the year 2030.

All politics & considerations should be made subservient to this target for 2030, even if we have to abolish weekly holidays for the next 20 years & reduce our daily sleeping time to 6 hours.

I am more than confident that by the dint of sheer hard work, sincerity & honesty which is imbibed in the bones of Pakistani work force, we can rebuild our country into the comity of 20 developed nations of the world, in the next 15-20 years.

For the benefit of the general public, It will not be out of place to reproduce below my proposal to all the politicians submitted on 13 August, 2010 under the title ” An Excellent Opportunity for the Politicians ”

An Excellent Opportunity for the Politicians by Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad on Friday, August 13, 2010 at 5:54pm.

“Had Pakistan built some large dams in the wasted 10 years of Musharraf era, today the impact of floods would have been on a much reduced scale. These floods are an eye opener for those myopic politicians, who can’t see beyond their nose.

Today (13 August, 2010), Pakistan is economically standing, even behind the stage of 14th August 1947, where foreign exchange reserves are USD 15 billions against loans of about USD 60 billions.

We always crib that dictators had no vision & they did nothing for the long term benefit of Pakistan. Now we must turn this crisis into an opportunity, by planning for at least 100 years ahead.

The Prime Minister must immediately activate the parliament along with all the out of parliament forces, to jointly sit and agree on a 100 years growth and development vision for Pakistan. This vision should be divided into 20 five years plans on which all the politicians should agree.

This planning will give a clear direction to the nation and also save the time and energy of the incumbent and ensuing political governments in useless debates of which dam or project is in the national interest, or against it.

It must also be remembered that changing environmental conditions, are going to be the biggest challenge in very near future, for countries like Pakistan. And let there be no mistake that areas spared by floods this time may always be safe. The future environmental calamities may even be on a much larger scale, engulfing more than one nation. What recently happened in LEH (IOK), should be an eye opener for the entire SAARC countries.

So any future planning, must also be in coordination with and take care of the interests of the neighbouring nations, because no single country has the capacity to survive the adversities of the nature, alone.”

On Monday, 8 December, 2104 an overwhelming crowd of the Faisalabad city blew away the myth of the incumbent PMLN government that they can force away PTI men and women in the country, specially in the province of Punjab, with the aggression of their own supporters.

In fact, the PTI men and women of steel, showed to the world that they can’t even be cowed down by the bullets, what to talk of any other repressive actions.

Just one PTI tigress Ms Lubna Malik, displayed unimaginable courage and bravery, in front of the hundreds and hundreds of PMLN supporters, who were attacking and chasing her shamelessly, but failed miserably, in their nefarious designs.

This one incident proved to be the turning point of the PTI movement, like the Tiananmen Square incident in China, where a lone person stood in front of a full military tanks column and stopped the tanks movement.

Now, the government must ponder on the level of the motivation of the PTI supporters that just one PTI tigress can hold back hundreds of PMLN charging workers.

As such, how can the government face the millions of charged up PTI tigresses and tigers all over the country?

Actually, Faisalabad not only blasted the myth of the PMLN’s street power, but it also took out the air from the ballon of the facade of any public support with the government.

It looks PTI has really won the game, set and match by just puncturing the ballon of the PMLN’s falsely created impression, of any worthwhile public support.

Now, no way PTI can be defeated and stopped in achieving its objectives, which seems to be just a matter of time, only.

Yesterday, PMLN not only lost its myth but prestige and reputation as well, by devising a wrong strategy of mishandling a political issue with non political methods; the blame for which, squarely lies on the top leadership of the PMLN.

An earnest request to the federal government of Pakistan.

1. As reported by media, there was no government representative present at the Namaz-e-Janaza (offered in Lahore today) of Shaheed ASF Inspector, Mr. Muhammad Sarwar.
If this news is true then government must investigate the reasons for this callousness of all the concerned.
Government must realise and recognise that such small gestures in our culture and society, are much appreciated by the officers and men of the services, than offering of monetary rewards, to the families of the Shaheeds.

2. Now, the entire nation has realised that the monumental supreme sacrifices offered by the 11 ASF men (during the terrorists attack at the Karachi airport) has saved the country from an unimaginable loss of men and material. Moreover, their SHAHADAT has also saved Pakistan from a huge loss of image and reputation, as well. As such, these ASF men, deserve to be awarded highest bravery award, to acknowledge their immortal services to the nation.

3. No Pakistani should and must not forget that today we and our children are alive and happy, because of the blood shed by our Martyrs for our better Tomorrow.
