'Pakistan an insurgency-wracked country' - Cricket journalism hits new low

[Loralai]

Lately I see on social media atleast a lot of Indians take digs at Pakistan/Pakistanis and when some Pakistani comes out and abuses them then hundreds or thousands of Indians come together and start abusing/blasting the entire country..

It seems the next generation Is more of a trollish/get brainwashed by anyone type of generation so hope for peace is literally existent.. One can just accept the reality and move on..

Regarding the topic Having said the above Pakistan’s problems are their own doing.. Pakistan and Pakistanis here blaming Indians on this thread need to realise it’s in their own hands to shut the mouth of every Indian.. Make your country one of the best country in the world and Indians would automatically be shut up.. Both set of people on either side of the border are pretty much taking at the bottom of standard of living compared to developed world but take pleasure in demeaning each other for being worse than they are. I guess it gives people some satisfaction in an otherwise mundane life.

Totally agree with you. This is the way forward. One day we will make Pakistan a great nation but we have a very long way to go and a very long and hard road ahead of us. I love my country but will not flinch from criticising its faults. The first step is accepting responsibility for our mistakes and trying to think about how we can solve them.

Pakistan Paindabad.

How is supporting the anti pakistan Afghan govt in Afghanistan and causing trouble for Pakistani supported Taliban in Afghanistan is equal to causing terrorism in Pakistan?

Chuck Hagel saying something isnt the truth. Did he hold a post of significance then to make such claims?

If Chuck Hagal is not speaking the the truth then neither are those speaking against Pak you keep going in about. We don't accept any evidence you provide, it is just paper to us. You serious? By supporting ant Pak government you are approving of terrorism in Pakistan. We have enough evidence like Indian weapons being caught in Pak to prove it.

So UN is a liar? All countries banning Pakistanis for terror activities in India are liars?

If you have proof why not show it to the world?

I was just about to post this. You are quite right.

I don't like it when people state things like "but they won't be travelling to Quetta or Miranshah, so why does it matter?" This is a very negative way of thinking and we shouldn't view our safety situation through the lens of where international cricketers might not be travelling to. Real Pakistanis live in these unsafe places and they should be our priority. The fact that is that our biggest province, Balochistan, is unsafe. I have extended family living there (I am of mixed Baloch and Punjabi ancestry) and the situation is very poor at the moment. I was interested in travelling around the province but was strongly advised not to do so. Just yesterday several Punjabi labourers were killed there.

FATA is completely out of bounds - not just for tourists but for Pakistanis. Large tracts of KPK are volatile. Same goes for interior and even large parts of urban Sindh.

We must accept that unless we take a more holistic and wider approach of Pakistan's safety and work to eliminate the sources of instability, we can only expect phrases like 'insurgency wracked'.

What is FATA? A place or a group of placse which are considered dangerous?

I do not think this is specific to the new generations. I believe that this dislike has always existed. But up until the last decade, before social media became so prevalent, one had to have achieved something in their life or done something before they could stand up on a forum and be heard.

Now, unfortunately due to social medial, making your voice heard is very easy, sitting in your pyjamas. This has allowed nobodies to come and spew hate on others and trolling has become second nature nowadays.

No I wouldn't because Kashmir is a very small part of India overall, whereas Balochistan is our largest province.

I also think a larger proportion of India is more stable than Pakistan. Its not easy to say it but, as Pakistanis, we should put our hand up and accept that we have treated our people unfairly and wrong those rights, rather than comparing with Indian occupation of Kashmir.

But you didn't answer my point about Pakistan team being threatened by influential Hindu extremists when they toured the country. BCCI had to move some games to different states for their own safety. Is it one rule for India and another for Pakistan my "Pakistani" friend?

Yes UN is a liar. Where was the UN when America attacked Iraq? It is an obsolete and American controlled organisation. Nawaz will never show anything to the world as he is pro India. You will have to wait for an honest government in Islamabad but even then you will question it.
