Pakistan – Athletes victims of national malaise.

Sports have died in Pakistan, the glory days of “Fastest Man in Asia,” Hav.Abdul Khaliq, Hav.Mubarak Shah, hockey greats like Shahnaz Shaikh and Naseer Bunda, and Squash Kings Hashim Khan and Jehangir Khan are bygone. 

Nevertheless, it is remarkable that Pakistan still keeps producing great athletes. A country, where all athletics and sports, including cricket are under the control of a mediocre, inept, and dazzlingly corrupt ruler named Zardari and his henchmen and goondas of PPP. One wonders, at how can sports flourish in a country, where berths in Olympic Squads are based on nepotism, connections, bribery and “Sifarish.” A good example of the corrupt sports system is the Chef-De-Mission, or the Executive head of the Pakistan Olympic Mission. He is a well known crooked general, who made billions during Musharraf era and whose uncouth “jatti,” wife speaks English with a Thokar Niaz Beg accent.  

A Few Flickering Lights

In this darkness of the nation, there are a few flickering lights among our athletes. An athlete like Rabia Ashiq is a trail blazer. She comes from a conservative family, but, with the support of her family, especially her father, and through her dogged determination found a place for herself in the Pakistani Olympic Squad.Those Pakistanis who had watched her interview, with the most brilliant Pakistani TV commentator, Talat Hussain, may get teary-eyed with pride; and have their chest bulge a few inches at the courage and determination of Rabia. She is a determined and brave daughter of Pakistan, whom, not a single Pakistani sports organization or government personality, supported during her training. Rabia Ashiq represents the best and the brightest of Pakistani athlete. We would like to dub her as a “Pakistani Dynamo,” you have to meet her to believe what we are saying. We are not only a nuclear nation. We also have women like Rabia, whose drive and determination is like a candle, which has lit up Pakistan. And, we have bright lights like Anum Bandey, who is no less.

The Winds of Corruption, which Deprive Thousands of other Flickering Lights (our young sportmen and women), who would Make the Nation Proud

Yes, Pakistan sportsmen and women are capable of winning, a tens of Olympic Medals?

Poverty cannot be used as an excuse for lack of better facilities for Pakistani men and women athletes. Ex-PM Gilani, Raja Rental, and Zardari’s and his piglets of PPPs and their Jiyalas in the bureaucracy junkets costs millions of dollars from the public exchequer or Pakistani tax-payers blood and sweat soaked money.

The Pakistani nation has become immune to such corrupt practices. It acts like a numbed deer in the clutches of a hyena. It may not condone them. All it does is complain about them and does nothing the hold them accountable. A time is not far off, when a another Pakistan will take birth in Dubai, where all the looted wealth will serve the needs of the Zardaris, the Raja Rentals, the Khosas, the Raisanis, the Khakwanis, the Chaudhries Mukhtars, Shujaat, Fazl Elahi, and even the bald headed intellectually challenged US’s favorite named Nawaz Shariff. But before the advent of a “Dubai-based corrupted Pakistan,” occurs, a farce of an election will take place. The Waderas, the Jagirdars, the Zamindars,and the hosts of others named earlier. They WILL NEVER let Imran Khan, or the dreamers of PTI, to reform the country in peace. Already, they (PPP,PML etc) have planted their trojan horses and moles in PTI.

Pakistan’s election will bring back, the same toola or coterie of crooks through their surrogates, their equally or more depraved children, the Moosa Gilanis, the Hamza Shariffs, the Moonis Elahis, of course how can one forget Bilawal, Asifa, and Bakhtawar, the curse of Bhutto family will NEVER ever leave the country.

When it comes down to electing honest representatives, the common people vote for the persons they fear most:the Waderas, Jagirdars, evil and corrupt business tycoons, and the morbidly obese Mussollinis, who is in love with himself, Altaf Hussain of MQM.

Pakistanis will say that they fear Allah. But, in their hearts of hearts they fear the feudals, the corrupt politicians and their neural network of relatives and “garians,”the sold-out luqmanized media personalities, the relations of bureaucrats. For example, at one time, Nawaz Shariffs cousins used to live in an enclave off of Hall/Beadon Road. The whole neighborhood called Lakshmi Mansion was afraid of them and acted with great deference towards them. In the same area roamed the devils disciple named, Malik Riaz, buying property, by fair means and foul.

In Pakistan, Malik Riaz is the tip of the “iceberg of shaitan businessmen.” There are thousand of them still flourishing and looting the nation. Malik riaz was too smart for his own good. He eventually fell into the spiders web, by mistaking the CJs son to be a honey bee, instead of realizing, that the CJ would be his nemesis.

Pakistan is infested with a virus of corrupt politicians and rulers

Pakistan has been infested with virulent politicians. These political-virion have hundreds of chacha, mamma, khaloos, and their zillions of aulads (progeny), that have a stranglehold on Pakistans economy. while these parasitic political virions flourish in the body of Pakistan, they suck the life out of the poor and indigent 180 million have-nots.

Pakistanis should ask the question would our beloved Prophet Muhammad (salallaho alayhay wa alay he sallam) approve the casteism which exists in Pakistani Society. If the answer is “NO,” then why do we carry on tradition of casteism from a mushriq society? Our Mullas are pretty silent on this issue.

Pakistanis vote for their caste. In Pakistani, casteism is just as bad as in India, when it comes to voting in election.
