[VIDEO] Device that was used to send threats to the New Zealand cricket team belonged to India

[cricketjoshila]

Not sure how deep your head is buried in the sand. Curate and validate intelligence? How many drone strikes that killed innocent people were curated and validated? You seem like one of those people that think western states are infallible.

But the countries who operate the 5 eyes will believe the 5 eyes.

 

[90MPH]

If the intelligence was credible than NZ would share it becuase why on earth wouldn’t you want those making the threats to be apprehended so this sort of threat can be avoided in the future, especially other sports teams ?

It doesn’t make any sense whaorsver so this was clearly a big hoax but NZ thought they had to take it seriously enough to abandon the tour.

Unfortunately it’s done massive incalculable damage to Pak crickets

 

[PakLFC]

Okay so the false threat originated from India! Even then the coward black caps should show more guts then believe in a dodgy email. They were surrounded by security all the time instead walked away. Even the Indian's could not have thought NZ would take their email seriously. Common people receive and ignore stupid chain email's threatening death to the receiver if it is not forwarded to a million people. I don't blame India, i do the coward black caps.

 

[Advaith]

They took easy way out as expected ..That's why real problem will never be addressed..Blame India and public rage against the govt will divert ..

They took the email very seriously. It said ".....or else lose your IPL contract".

 

[PakLFC]

They took the email very seriously. It said ".....or else lose your IPL contract".

Yeah so then there must be more money in a Test series or an alternative to IPL offering equal or more money. It was threatening omission from the IPL that did all the damage otherwise the email would have been ignored.

 

[Bewal Express]

All you guys do is blame others for every poor situation you are in.

Why didn't Imran convince Ardern? Whose failure is that?

Why is it that all the threats are coming from India? Why are they using VPNs?

 

[cricketjoshila]

Why is it that all the threats are coming from India? Why are they using VPNs?

Thats a claim by pakistan. The NZ govt who pulled out the team hasnt said anything about India. Another of those "claims" by pakistan.

Now please tell whose failure was it that imran couldn't convince Ardern.

The threats are coming from Ind, no other country has any interest in threatening PK, especially after your proxies got a kicking in Afg. A local Kashmiri killed your occupying soldiers, you blamed us and decided to bomb us, but after that humiliation you soon pulled back, then you used Afg to attack us, and that didnt end well and now this. Your country is a fascist state determined bully us but IA we will give you an apt reply. The ISI needs to get working, whats sauce...

NZ govt had the intel and they said nothing about India. The intel came from 5 eyes and said nothing about India, so the pakistani clownery doesn't washm

Anything you do will be returned with interest. Dont worry about that.

Now please tell Imran not being able to convince Ardern is whose fault?

 

[cricketjoshila]

So IKS failure NZ gives you great satisfaction, and then you claim that you arent out to damage PK. The fact is that all the threats came from Ind, that bit isnt in doubt. NZ were obvioulsy worried because as you know you have nutcase fans that threaten to kill rape players and their wives etc and they got worried

NZ is touring India in 2 months and many NZ players were in India during the IPL.

The fact is the intel cane from 5 eyes and NZ govt and they haven't shared it with pakistan. Neither NZ govt or 5 eyes have said that the intel was from india. So what pakistan sats is immaterial.

If your pm cannot convince a team to tour, you must ask what is his and his government's credibility. They are trying to deflect their failure by naming India.

 

[TabishNator]

Why would they make up something that can be easily refuted if it's a lie? Guptill or his wife can come out and deny it and Pakistan's entire narrative would fall flat on its face. Indian posters will never admit it but if you keep all your biases aside and think objectively then it's obvious these emails were really sent to the NZ team.

 

[ahaseeb]

Frankly, we can't make a joke of this as Indians are making of them self by catching pigeons and declaring 5th floor of Serena. If they're a joker, we shouldn't pull this off.

best way is to follow proper law and genuinely see if there is a threat. There's always a threat every one so Pakistani gov can ask if NZ gov want to protect the threat & terrorist by not disclosing them or they want to help the international community by disclosing the threat
Flying with the argument that we know there is a terrorism attempt but we wouldn't tell you is like protecting the terrorists.
Ultimately, it was a cheap ploy and everyone is aware of the nexus. So the best way is to follow the law and move on.

Any statement / reaction from 5 Eyes or NZ Board on this press conference yet?

As playing your neighbours was not enough of an event in itself, you now have the bonus round of playing NZ in your group.
Just the electricity and heat generated from what we are seeing on the net and from these two matches could possibly power several cities for months.

Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid said on Monday that the government was in contact with Interpol over the threatening emails sent to the New Zealand cricket team that resulted in the cancellation of the tour hours before the first ODI.

Addressing a weekly presser, the interior minister said Interpol has been contacted to probe into 12 emails sent to the NZ team and their "India-Singapore links". "There will be good news soon," the minister said in response to a question.

It may be noted here that one of the emails was sent from an associated device in India using VPN, showing the IP address or location of Singapore. "The device RMX 1971 (Realme) used 13 email IDs and except for Hamza Afridi, the 12 other email IDs had Indian/Hindi names," the minister had said in an earlier press conference.



Fake news generated by India led to the shock cancellation of New Zealand cricket team’s tour of Pakistan, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry had said last week, describing the plot as part of a fifth generation hybrid warfare against the country, in a presser he addressed with Rashid.

Speaking about the differences between the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and the government over the issue of electronic voting machines (EVMs), the minister said that both the sides had started mending fences. He added that the issue will be resolved soon.

Rashid said that Prime Minister Imran was committed to ensuring fair elections in Pakistan through the use of the EVMs.

According to Rashid, the interior ministry has forwarded a list of 15 countries to the federal cabinet to approve on-arrival visas for their nationals. These countries include the US, Iran, Russia, Canada and France among others. After the approval, nationals from 65 countries will be able to visit Pakistan via on-arrival visas.

The minister said the government will reform NADRA and other departments to stamp out fake CNICs and Covid vaccination certificates. He said the government will add 15 more security features on passports to prevent fake copies, adding that e-passports will eventually be introduced to fix the issue once and for all.

He said over 70 million people have been vaccinated so far and 7.5 million vaccination certificates have been issued by NADRA.

The interior minister also spoke about the political environment of the country. He said there was infighting in the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), adding that instead of two, the party would split into three factions before the general elections.

He said PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif should worry about his party instead of going after the government.

Rashid said the government would install Integrated Border Management System at the Torkham and Chaman borders, to keep track of arrivals and departures. He said that the number of Afghan nationals leaving Pakistan was greater than the new arrivals.

About security measures on Chehlum, the interior minister said the ministry's command and control centre will be working round the clock. He said that the ministry would suspend mobile services for security reasons if required by the respective provincial administration.

If true, what is Pakistan going to do about it? India sent over jets into Pakistan when they suspected Pakistan to have caused harm and unrest within the country during Pulwama

If true, then the normal course of action would be for Interpol to work with theri Indian counterpart and arrest those who sent these posts.
Are these emails the same as those reported hoax emails sent weeks before New Zealand travelled?

An individual group’s actions have caused losses of millions of dollars for Pakistan and also set back the nation massively in regards to hosting cricket at home, which will result to more and more financial loss.

So an arrest by Interpol would be sufficient? What world are you living in?

There were about 10,000 security forces deployed for guarding NZ team according to Sheikh Rashid ( Ministry of Interior) press video.
The very fact that these number of security personnel were required for a "cricket" game itself is a strong indicator that situation is not "normal".
Which country in the world needs so much security for sports event? It means the country itself believe that there is genuine threat.
At the most a sports team gets security is 4 cops i.e 2 patrol cars and 5-10 private security guards in a normal country and most of the security is for player stalkers rather than bombs/bullets.

Besides that NZ and UK are advanced countries and UK is a nuclear weapon country and so in a way has technological advantage over majority of countries in the world . Pretty sure " just 1 'hoax' email from India" won't make them cancel a tour.
Even the PM of Pakistan couldn’t convince the NZ pm of security assurances which itself is indicator of a sort. It is hard to believe that the tour was cancelled on basis of one email

It’s because SENA teams will never be convinced 100 security personnel are more than enough. Pakistan have gone above and beyond to do whatever they can to protect its guests who need assurance

Will NZ be happy if we tell them, “the situation is absolutely fine in Pakistan, and we have deployed around 200 security personal for the protection of the touring team”.

Well, it's quite telling that England are part of the same intelligence sharing group that NZ got their intelligence from, and UK government did not change their threat perception for the Pakistan tour. So yes, it now seems entirely plausible that NZ were spooked by a hoax email.

It's a chicken and egg situation. Honestly the only people suggesting that too many security is a bad sign are people online. Players have never complained about it. In fact many have mentioned they felt safe because of the "too much security".

who would anyone complain about too much security in Pakistan?

In fact the day some foregin player complains about it that they are not able to freely go shopping and restaurants due to security, that should be counted as a win.

Well many players have gone shopping or to restaurants despite the security. My point either way is that this "too much security" argument is basically an online issue. The people involved don't think it's an issue.

Lol. Has NZ govt confirmed that they left the tour because of these emails etc?

Also what we have are claims by pakistan govt. The Interpol will verify and then release a notice if required.

 

[Shafi]

Nowadays people only respect money and power. These Top boards are not any different. They can pull out any tour with any excuse.PCB can do nothing because we don’t have that amount of money or power. We should not do bootlicking to these Big 3 teams. Also we should not help them like others if they are in financial lost ie 2020 NZ tour or England tour etc. Just act professional.

They are fooling the gullible public who is willing to buy this theory. NZ pulling out of cricket tour citing security reason is a question mark on the law and order situation of the country. Then the subsequent Eng pull out made the situation even worse. Suddenly there is a perception in cricket world that Pakistan is not a safe place for cricket.

The Govt of Pakistan is well aware that opposition will question them in Parliament especially since Imran himself questioned the then PM and blamed his party relentlessly for 2009 incident. So to save face they are blaming India, because:

A) It will give the impression that security sitiation is absolutely fine in Pakistan and NZ team just got spooked by a random email

B) Blaming India sells very quickly and public/media laps onto it easily.

A random fan email hiding his IP address can never stop a cricket tour. Intelligence of five eyes is not so stupid to fall prey to such things. The minister must introspect within his own party, try to make Pakistan more secure and stop playing to the gallery. I mean it was all fun and good initially, we all laughed but c'mmon buddy...just stop now

Too much head in the sand, LOL.

There is perception that Pakistan is not safe? Clearly you must be reading Indian media only. Cricketing media, the UK government and even England player associations have thrown ECB under the bus. Nearly everyone is siding with Pakistan, but of course don't miss the opportunity to pass on your own opinion as a more widespread opinion.

Intelligence of 5 eyes is not stupid? Then why did UK government not object to the tour? They are part of the 5 eyes. You people are just concern trolling here.

You are missing the point mate. Nearly everyone is siding as an empathy with PCB and Pak cricket fans. Everyone is sad that cricket halted in Pakistan after PCB took so much effort. England especially is sympathetic after everything PCB has done for them like touring in the middle of pandemic, staying in Travelodge etc. The fact that they gave mental health as the reason of not touring made people more angry.

What you hearing is the empathy for PCB.

No one is siding with Pakistan saying its very safe place to play cricket and blaming Kiwis for pulling out though. Everyone has maintained that security of the players comes first.

Nope, this is the part where you lie. What's happening with ECB with respect to their government, players association, media etc is that they thought Pakistan tour should have gone ahead. Literally everyone has thrown the ECB under the bus on this.
