The British problem & solution

Came across tiktok videos wherein UK police was protecting PTM leadership from angry patriotic Pakistanis. It triggered a loaded train of thoughts.
Why is it UK, now & ever whether Ahmadis, MQM, Ishaq Dar etc? It turns out that anyone who contradicts with the very ideology of Pakistan & Islam gets protection by UK govt. So any kind of looters (Sharif family including son-in-laws, father-in-laws, nephews, nieces, grandchildren & great grandchildren), marauders (Altaf & his accomplices), murtads (Ahmadis & Maloon Rushdi etc), traitors (Bugtis, PTM goons, Malala (this will enrage hopeless liberals but she falls in this category) & politically incorrect leaders (all politicians) who could physically, financially, morally, spiritually & every other ally do any amount of damage to our core ideology gets official patronage by the govt of UK.
Do we have the guts to question Gora Sahab's consistent hypocritical stance against us on official forums? Or is it too tricky a quandary for the self proclaimed state of Medina? But our wise ruler would not put his ex in trouble & cause stir in social life of his sons. Besides, his holidays with his offspring would be marred by controversy. And those UK based deep pocket desi rich friends could be offended.
Obviously, those who live in UK for 'better life' wouldn't appreciate the idea of dissension nor would diplomatically correct people would see anything wrog with the scenario.
But lets quickly recap. They snuck into subcontinent through trade. They colonized us. Then they sucked out every bit of natural resource & stole our wealth. Then they forced our people to fight their bloody big war during which Churchill instructed his Viceroy in Hind to let them die of famine & to divert those resouces to war effort else where. Human rights activism would call it brutal cold blooded mass murder. Towards mid 1940s, when they couldn't hold on to the 'Jewel of the Crown', they let us go (some would argue they gave us independence & others would claim we got our independence) with loads of unresolved issues. In 60s, they needed people for menial jobs, plane loads of Sub-continentals reached there to do what British didn't like to do for themselves. Still many desire that gloomy, rainy, prejudiced & unrealistically expensive place and one can only wonder why? They tax so much that middle class & lower middle class working Sub-continentals age much faster than those in this part of the world. Desi kids raised there get the worst of the both worlds & their title BBCD (British Born Confused Desi) says it all. And last but not the least, regular echoes of that sweet title, 'Oye Paki', can anyone ever get used to this or learn to live with it? And if they do, at what cost? May be its not all that hopeless or may be my lenses are foggy on this one.
Despite all that glorious past & magnificent present storyline of onesided love affair, they never miss out on any opportunity to let us down & we never miss any opportunity to polish their tasteless apple. Unbelievable consistency of disregard on their part & unfathomable pedigreed pet like loyalty on our part.
Is there any rational demand cum outcome of this piece? Yes, there are few. Admit that there is problem. Govt must take this up that Queen Regina Elizabeth the Second must officially apologize for centuries of looting (including return of Koh-e-Noor on special request of Science Minister) , marauding, colonozing & stealing; likewise UK govt be asked to apologize for years of sponsorship of looters, marauders, murtads, traitors of/from Pakistan.
Only Allah knows the whole Truth.

Can Pakistan beat India Today?

This is the question of the day. Invariably, every Pakistani cricket follower would be interested in finding an answer to this.
Short answer, basing purely on capability, would be' yes, they can', if it doesn't rain - washed out would be tasteless, besides we need more than a point. But can they perform to potential is difficult to call because anwer to this falls into the corridor of uncertainty like those length off cutters on off stump. Their unpredictably sometimes makes bookies sweat. Mostly, they don't take to the pitch with hunger for win. During the game, you look at Sarfraz' face, you don't have to look at the scoreboard. Captain loses composure way too early. Instead of changing strategy, he keeps changing shades of purple on his face. We have long been basking in the glory of Champions Trophy win couple of years back and tend to totally ignore two humiliating defeats by India in Asia Cup last year. India is balanced & in form team.
Still, its a new day, new game.  You never know which shade of mercurial may turn up today at Old Trafford. A telltale sign of winning mood is when they throw themselves around in the field & take catches; know that they are in for the kill. That team better show up today to break the jinx of illusive World Cup victory over India. Literally, that Moqa Moqa song has become the life story of my generation. May be today is the Moqa those decades long held up fireworks go of instead of going back to the storeroom for another four years.
Victory is important to stay in the tournament and if it happens at the expense of India, it would be double the fun. Otherwise double time grief: loss to India, top four out of reach & early flight home. This picture is way too gloomy for any optimism. We would rather ride our lucky stars & hope for win. Hope is after all, the fuel of life no matter how mercurial is the bet, losing on Pakistan would be worth losing & wining - infinite joy.

Say no to holy cows

Its time we start thinking like Pakistanis. No stupid affiliations. No jiala, no patwari, no insafian, no religious political worker without opinion is worth it anymore. And the opinion is Pakistan. It has to be Pakistan. 

If Sharifs & Zardaris are facing the music, be fully prepared to take IK & his incompetent team to task as well. No military establishment, no plain cloth warriors, no generals, no judges; nobody is above the law. 

Law has taken its course in this country in recent years. Already a deviant justice of Islamabad High Court has been shown the way home. A brigadier & a scientist involved in espionage are being hanged & a lieutenant general who was a step short of being COAS is sentenced for 14 years. 'Sea change' is there. We have started saying no to holy cows. 

Whosoever he is, whosoever his father is/was , whatsoever he has done, if he is unable to justify means of his or his family's asset, he is not above the law. No more holy cows. Mr Faiz Isa must be a great judge. He must have an impeccable record. But allegations change it. If allegations are wrong, the accused comes out strong & vice versa. Unfortunately, instead of clearing his name through proper judicial channel, he is purposefully politicising the issue. Being an insider, he is playing around with the law. All his greatness & impeccable judicial background is at work to make the whole system look like a joke. Instead of facing the law, he intentionally leaked his letter to media. How pathetic that a person cribbing about leakage of information is himself leaking his letter to president which is supposedly an official and confidential correspondence. References filed against him could be wrong or ill intentioned but its niether above nor beyond the law. If he doesn't trust or is unable to answer his own judicial system, why he is on judicial system. Best form of protest could have been stepping down from the holy berth. Men of integrity have done such things in the past. If a judge in highest office or his family has properties in posh areas of London and USA, why can't these be justified. He needs to answer because holy cows is a thing of past now.

Only Allah knows the whole Truth.
