Paki echandee is working up again

In an apparent retaliation to the snub at the Indian Premier League auction, the Pakistan Cricket Board on Friday revoked all No Objection Certificates (NOCs) issued to its players for participation in the third edition of Twenty20 [ Images ] event.

The decision effectively means that no Pakistani cricketer can now take part in this season's IPL even if the franchises want to rope them in as substitutes.

Thank you for helping us help you !

The announcement comes on the same day that Indian hardline party Shiv Sena [ Images ] said it would not allow Pakistani players to play in the IPL and IPL commissioner Lalit Modi also informed that no franchise could pick Pakistan players without his knowledge and approval.

We still have not understood the mango paki and are still making the mistake of dealing with them within the framework of logic and reason. Honor, shame, friendship and enmity do not apply to the Pakis in the way they apply to sane people. If you troll through the unmentionable forum the exchanges go along the lines of

Anujanullah,

This is a well known trait of Pakiness. Take the whole world with us if we are going down. That "We are going down" could be for any reason, including their own pakiness.

So India and the world should do them a favor by sending them into dimension-j before they do something stupid.

Just heard it from one source. Don't know the amount of truth in it.
The apologetic stance taken by a host of knowledgable people, ranging from
BR to PC to Gill, regarding the IPL saga is due to deep displeasure expressed
by people from Pak side who get involved in track-II diplomacy.
They are the biggest source of info for the intel/GoI about the internal
dynamics in TSP. The situation is like this: In a kids' class if you punish the
most ruffian/bully (read jihadists) then some kids won't mind, but if the best
soccer player gets punished, then the whole class gets upset, and may not
cooperate with you.

The people who spout such sophistry need to be told that it is not up to Indians to selectively punish the bad people and reward the good people in Pakistan. Do Pakis think they are Indians in India? They are not and they need to punish their own people who are behaving bad towards India. The real issue is that Pakis who behave badly towards India are not considered bad by Pakistanis. And so Indians think all Pakis are bad.

If all Pakis are not bad, they have to show that they can take action against those who are bad towards India. And so it is tit for tat. Pakis will not punish those who attack India and India does not give a frug for Pakis. India's attitude towards Pakistan in IPL is not making Indians suffer. If it is making Pakis suffer - they have to do what it takes to change that.

archan · Post by **archan** » 29 Jan 2010 21:29

That is what I felt when I said earlier to CRS that there may be things in there which we cannot see. Of course it is very easy to lambast GoI, but if it is trying to keep unkil from breathing down its neck, it has to do things which may not be pleasant on the paki front. Whether the jingoes like it or not, at the moment the average Bhartiya is more interested in day to day matters, price rise and their personal economic development than pakistan. A govt. does what it feels is in line with the majority public "pulse" if it wants to remain in power. To their credit, PC et al. are still keeping the 26/11 issue alive even after over a year. Making statements is pretty much all they can do (overtly) and from what it appears, pakis do feel the pressure on some fronts. That they are so irresponsible that they won't charge the guilty, is unfortunate but Bharat is not such a world power as of now that it can make things happen in its favor all the time.

CRamS · Post by **CRamS** » 29 Jan 2010 21:49

Kati:

I respectfully think this is bogus. Reason being that so called TSP civil society or whoever is either powerless or complicit in taking on what they now call "non state actors". Even someone like me will believe that TSP has turned the corner when the track-2 morons from TSP show some semblance of remorse to what was done to India. I mean India is supoosed to take comfort that for the first time TSP owned up that some of the Mubia terror scum were Pakis? Is this all that track-2 can come up with?

To give the US Soviet analogy, I have yet to see a single RAPE who talks about bhaichara come out and spill the beans about TSPA/ISI. Do you recall there used to be Soviet dissidents who would pour scorn and vitriol on KGB/community party? And they were good propaganda tools in the hands of the US-led west to undermine the Soviets. Likewise, why isn't there even one RAPE who can tell it like it is on the role of TSPA/ISI towards India? Even a charlatan like Ahmed Rashid is a darling to the west because he takes on TSPA/ISI on matters of interest to the west, but even he has nary a whiff of a remorse on the slaughter of Indians.

And thats why I puke at India's track-2 retards. And I also smell something sinister. By any objective stabdard, an honest pacifist must tell thier TSP counterparts Pakis that unless you take a clear stand on terror, we cannot move ahead. But the problem is that many of India's track-2 are self loathing Hindus or brown sepoys acting at the behest of Washington/London, or plain naive and stupid for whom TSP's terror is equivalent to India's communal excesses. They are morally degenrate.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh [ Images ] is believed to be extremely upset -- some say even livid

Can't get much more pathetic than this, but hey, 'khan speaketh, SDRE agreeeth.

PS: livid: means very angry, red faced.

The Americans said he was so angry when handing over the proof of Pakistani involvement in 26/11 that his hands were shaking. Now I wonder which anger is more, the red face one or the shaking hands one.

Pakistani Pathologies
http://www.captainsjournal.com/category/pakistan/

We have discussed before the notion of the Pakistani pathological preoccupation with India, coupled at least in part with its negligence to see the existential threat to its own state by the Taliban. But every once in a while a report comes along that almost needs no other data, commentary or elucidation in order to demonstrate the point. The Sri Lanka Guardian has such a report..Under such circumstances the question is how come these peace loving people suddenly became radicals and militants to fight their own country’s armed forces killing their own Muslim brothers and sisters.
The answer lies in the shocking discovery by the Pakistani armed forces of sophisticated weapons, besides large amount of foreign currencies, from United States, NATO, Israel and India following recent military operations to flush out what the West describe as Pakistani Talebans. However the most startling discovery was the presence of uncircumcised, non Muslim, Talebans among those killed raising eye brows though everyone knows who they are and what they were doing in South Waziristan.

BRFites need to open their eyes on this whole IPL issue.
We are not having the last laugh. Pakis are!
Pakis are not crying for a chance in IPL as much indians are for giving Pakis a chance. They are making the most of a slight and in the process have got indians totally confused and fighting within themselves.
As of today, Indians are crying about wanting to have Paki players right from the news anchors, HomeMin, SportMin to the PM.
Whether pakis play or not, they have shown that indians are the biggest fools.
Other than LModi, all other are shedding tears for Pakis not playing. Nothing chanakian about this from the yindoos.

Check the bald cnn-ibn anchor who today who kept harking about how wrong india is and victimised pakis are. Even asking Pakis what must india do to atone for the sins.

I am not sure how many of you remember in 2009, after INC had won elections, Mr. Mera-upar Raham Kar, from Pakistan had made a big deal of GoI not picking a Pakistani for the post of Indian Foreign Minister (a.k.a External Affairs Minister). The now famous Garica Dutta had gone on records saying since an Indian was being picked for Home Minister (a.k.a Minister of Home affairs); it is only appropriate that a Pakistani be selected for Foreign Minister. Better sense prevailed and the post was handed over to an Indian.
