Asif sahib see's Usman as being Pakistani playing our arch rivals:babar
 
It is his personal account, he is allowed to tweet whatever he wants to. I don't know why people have problem with him applauding Usman Khwaja.

So you are saying every Muslim guy with Pak heritage is an ISI agent? That is terrible.

So are Moeen Ali and Imran Tahir ISI agents too?

The poster was clearly joking :)

Also, once again, no harm in enjoying a cricket match. A person's personal life is no business for anyone else.
 
Although Maj General Asif Ghafoor is the DG ISPR and spokesman of forces but these tweets are from his personal account so no issue at all he do it all the time if you check his timeline. Asif Ghafoor got an interesting Twitter handle @peaceforchange
 
"Excellent STRIKE rate" "CAP the series"
Is he being a troll on purpose here? Lol if so, Ghafoor Saab is truly up to date in this social media age.
 
Everyone knows Usman Khawaja is of Pakistani origin, but I'm not sure if everyone knows Pakistani Khawajas are usually of Kashmiri heritage. I would've emphasized that point too in the tweets.

even if it is from his personal twitter account, it leaves a bad taste and I expected better
 
New Pakistan, New CoOol army. We will hit the enemy with brain and brawn and troll them afterward. Jalti purr tail...wah

He's not even doing it from ISPR's official account, he is doing it from his personal account.

Khawaja representing Pakistanis well. This was a real surgical strike.
 
So Indian media personalities can tweet about cricket and cricketers can tweet about war but not Pakistani ones.

Rivers of tears...
 
He should lay off the poor guy, he's probably cringing at these posts.

yeah that's true we're kashmiri however usman khawaja is not, I asked him once and he said his folks are from karachi. I know some khawajas in America and they're either punjabi or urdu speakers.

The Punjabi ones are invariably of Kashmiri heritage. Northern Punjab is full of Kashmiri Punjabis, and their most common surnames are Butt, Khawaja and Dar. Many other surnames of Kashmiri origin exist too, but those three are particularly common.

In Punjab, Khawaja was also often used to refer to a Kashmiri, even if they didn’t use it as their surname. One only needs to read Saadat Hasan Manto’s non-fiction work. His friends address him as Khawaja, even though he obviously used Manto as his surname.

P.S. You asked Usman Khawaja in person? Do you know him?

I'm aware as I am also punjabi-kashmiri but a lot of the khawajas in America are urdu people. I don't know him personally but asked awhile back on social media and he responded lmaoo, that said I believe I do know of some of his relatives in America.

That’s too bad, his recent heroics would’ve been all the more poignant had he been Kashmiri. Oh well.

I’ll have to search for your exchange with him on social media. You know, to read it verbatim.
 
Indians should be rightfully trolled for wearing the army cap to the game. It's ridiculous, I wouldn't support Pakistani players wearing it either. It looks too desperate of a measure to seek pity, that too for an army with countless human right violation and brutalities on innocent civilians in Kashmir.

Doesn't matter about their choice, they can do it in IPL but teams should not be allowed at international stage. They have politicized the game enough already. Such an immature government and cricket board.
 
Has Asif Ghafoor tweeted about the surgical strikes by Australia against Pakistan?

Was not required as the entire country watched the hammering. Against India it needed to be highlighted for gaining public attention.

It is not about my loyalty to another country; it is about Asif Ghafoor’s immaturity. It was not his place to comment on a cricket series between India and Australia and engage in a bit of trolling.

Nevertheless, it has backfired spectacularly and he deserves to be trolled for it. He needs to stick to his domain - trolling India in cricket will not end well because they are a top team and we are rubbish.

Someone in his position should not have made those tweets in the first place. If the shoe was on the other foot and we were on the receiving end, would we be happy with such trolling?

We couldn’t even stop crying about Sehwag’s trolling even though he is in a relevant position to do so.
 
In another ISPR related news, they have sponsored a Pakistan Army video game which is available on iOS and perhaps Android as well. It is called “The Glorious Resolve”

They have enough spare money to make video games now. That is how strong their propaganda is.

Credit goes to Major Ghafoor for his constant praise and encouragement which has inspired Usman to scale new heights. #5-0
 
I see usual wrist slitter Pakistani trying to appear righteous and smarter than thou.

War isn’t just fought on battlefield anymore, it’s on social media as well.

Desperation to criticize for the sake of criticism is getting pathetic.
 
ISPR more lethal than ISI, Indian govt warned

Days after a former Indian military commander praised the Pakistan Army’s media wing for employing outstanding strategy in the domain of hybrid warfare, a prominent cyber-intelligence specialist warned the India government of the threat the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) poses.

“If there is a Pakistani inter-services directorate as lethal as the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), it is, undoubtedly, the Inter-Services Public Relations,” Pukhraj Singh wrote in his latest article for The Print.

In his opinion, the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi was too late in spotting the danger after Facebook took down pages mending the public opinion ahead of Indian general elections.
Just like the former Indian commander, Lt-Gen (retd) Syed Ata Hussain who had acknowledged superiority of Pakistan Army’s media wing over its Indian counterpart, Singh also hailed the ISPR’s information warfare strategies especially in the showdown after Pulwama incident.

India’s ex-general hails ISPR for ‘outclass information war’

Last week, Lt-Gen (retd) Hussain had remarked during a speech that the Inter-Services Public Relations outclassed the Indian army in information war. “I want to give full marks to the ISPR for the information strategy it has played out,” he said while addressing the International Institute of Strategic Studies in UK on Thursday.

According to Singh, Pakistani Army has conducted a series of public wargames — Azm-e-Nau, meant to counter India’s ‘Cold Start’ doctrine. “With many successful iterations over the years, these exercises simulated massive mobilisations augmented by net-centric warfare, stopping short at the tactical nuclear weapons threshold,” he wrote.

“Interestingly, the said wargames treated the ISPR as the crucial pivot of conflict escalation and de-escalation. It was meant to undertake information operations, military deception and strategic communications – benignly dubbed as perception management in military parlance.

“This was a couple of years prior to ‘hybrid war’ becoming all the rage in the media circles, manifesting itself as the wildly successful Russian playbook against Georgia, Ukraine, and the US elections. From leveraging non-uniformed militias to undertaking disruptive cyber operations that seeded widescale paranoia and confusion, the Russians reintroduced the cognitive dimension to this emerging format of war.”

By F-16s or JF-17s, India can’t deny downing of jets: ISPR

Valery Gerasimov, the chief of the general staff of the armed forces of Russia, is thought to be the key proponent of its hybrid war philosophy, first delivered as part of his address to the Academy of Military Sciences in March 2018. The contents of his lecture gained such prominence that the Western media now prefers to call it the ‘Gerasimov Doctrine’.

“With his carefully orchestrated social media spectacles during and after the Balakot escalation, Major General Asif Ghafoor, the incumbent director general of the ISPR, proved to be a formidable disruptor as well,” Singh maintained.

In the aftermath of violation of Pakistani airspace by India, there were times when ISPR’s Twitter shenanigans pushed the envelope and stole the initiative for a few minutes. They did put the Indian machinery in reactive mode, especially after the capture of a fighter pilot.

The mini-war conflict was over and therefore so were Asif Ghafoor's comments on cricketing matters.

Both India and Pakistan are responsible for politicizing cricket. I've seen nothing but politics this whole WC. First Dhoni's gloves, then INDvPAK match, then India "deliberately" losing against England and now this.

Should have just deleted it after this... :29:
 
His arrogance is amusing. Unintentional omission is “acknowledged” but he can’t get himself to apologize.

Nonetheless, an important lesson for him if he doesn’t want to be embarrassed again in the future.
