If the Indian SC had named the 12 Indian cricketers for action only 3 players would have been left in Australia to represent India for the ODI World Cup.
Indian SC has compromised JUSTICE over nationalism.

IPL Spot-Fixing Scam: Supreme Court Verdict Silent on Players Named in Mudgal Report

My recent Twitter message to Mr. John Kerry US Secretary of State on his latest statement today at World Economic Forum Davos regarding barbaric act of terrorism at Peshawar school on 16 December, 2014:

@JohnKerry Sir, we Pakistanis fully appreciate your positive statements & actions on Peshawar school tragedy which will definitely go a long way in any recurrence of such terrorism acts in future.
We strongly recommend your name for award of Noble Peace Prize for your untiring monumental efforts to eliminate the scourge of terrorism specially from Pakistan, which has paid immeasurable price in men and material to make the USA as the sole super power of the world and again during the ongoing WOT during which it has been blown to smithereens but still Pakistan is very courageously standing tall on the frontline to save the free world from terrorism.

Democracy is the best revenge.

DunyaNews reports 8 more kids lost their life in THAR due to malnutrition taking the tally to 333 killed in 114 days.

Can not the Sindh government declare EMERGENCY as per constitution to provide FREE food, milk and clean water in the affected areas of THAR?

Respected Shahryar Khan Sb. I hope the following report of Dawn published today is not correct and is denied by the PCB, else PCB looks like a laughing stock and in someone else’s control.

“It may also be mentioned here that a press release issued on Dec 27, 2014 by the PCB had clearly stated that Moin would only be part of the World Cup 2015 squad and not for the current tour of New Zealand. When contacted, a PCB official confirmed that Moin had left with the Pakistan team on Tuesday as the PCB chairman changed his earlier decision.”

My retort to Mr.Hamid Mir still remains un-replied.

Hamid Mir Sahab, what you have written is an oft repeated fact, which looks more like a rhetoric, now.

Another side of this murder case, on which I have written many times, but you never included that part, neither in your TV programs, nor in your writings. And that part, pertains to the fact that in February 2012, this PPP government approached the Interpol, for arresting Pervaiz Musharraf, in the murder case of Benazir Bhutto. So far so good. However, in April 2012, when Pervaiz Musharraf visited China, our ambassador Mr. Masood Khan, accorded him official welcome and also gave an official dinner in his honour at the Embassy (all this at the expense of the Pakistani tax payer’s money). The question is, that if the ambassador accorded Pervaiz Musharraf all the protocol in China, without the permission of the PPP government, why he was not dismissed? And, why later on the same ambassador was bestowed with a national award and given the prime posting at the UNO, New York?

And, if all this protocol was awarded to Pervaiz Musharraf with the permission of the government of PPP in Pakistan, then why to ask the Interpol to arrest him on the charges of Benazir’s murder? PPP government it looks, is trying to use or misuse the name of Interpol, just to befool its people?

Hamid Mir Sahab, what is all this. The government of PPP can befool the PPP Jiyalas and the general public of Pakistan, but they can’t deceive the Interpol. As they say, you can fool some of the people for all the time, you can fool all the people for some of the time, but you can’t fool all the people, all the time.

However, Hamid Mir Sahab, the biggest disappointment in this case is your silence, on this particular issue.

It looks that everybody who has betrayed with the blood of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto, is now doing a lip service, you included.

IPL verdict: Key observations made by SC.

Here are some of the key observations made by Supreme Court in the IPL spot-fixing case.
N. Sirinavasan can not contest BCCI elections till such time he has conflict of interest in CSK, wherein, in a meeting he chaired SN allowed IRS. 13 crore to CSK for match compensation.

Charges of cover-up against BCCI president-in-exile N Srinivasan not proved.

BCCI’s rule amendment of 6.2.4 which gave right to BCCI’s official to have stake in IPL is the main villain.

Conflict of interest in cricket leads to confusion.

It cannt be said with certainty there Srinivasan was involved in covering up role of Meyppan in betting scandal:

At most it can be said that there is suspicion againt Srinivasan for covering up

Raj Kundra and Gurunath’s role in betting stands proved

BCCI decision is amenable to judicial review

Not only players and team officials but franchise be also punished for misconduct

BCCI did not adhere to prescribed procedure while conduccting probe in IPL spot fixing scandal

SC holds that Kundra and Meiyappan are team officials

Amendment in BCCI rules allowing srinivasan to own IPL team is bad

Conflict of interest in cricket leads to great confusion

Amendment in 6.2.4 in BCCI rules is the real villian

Amendment negates the very essence of game
