Hell breaks loose: Sri Lankan cricketers attacked in Pakistan!!

Why in the first place did the Sri Lankan Government have to send their prized sportsmen to a country like Pakistan? That’s a question all could be asking, and the Indian Government couldn’t have gone wrong by not sending our players there. What’s happened today is a grave incident defacing Pakistan’s claims on attempts to curb terrorism, it has happened right under their nose and they can’t claim that this one not being hatched on their soil. Who will they contradict now, whom they will blame: Stateless actors? It makes me laugh at Pakistan’s state of affairs and feel sorry for Sri Lankan cricketers and their citizens. The test match now stands canceled and the tour has been called off. The Sri Lankan government is going to airlift the player and move them to Dubai.

Time.com quotes Habib-Ur Rehman, Chief of Police in Lahore, Pakistan as

They came on rickshaws. They were armed with rockets, hand grenades, kalashnikovs.

Holy Shit!! You couldn’t detect terrorists roaming around in rickshaws!!, What kind of security do you mean to provide around a sports venue? The last time I attended a cricket match I wasn;t even allowed to carry a pet bottle of water, and cars and motorbikes were parked at least a kilometer away, leading to a long walk to the stadium entrance.

This incident goes on to prove on how powerless the Pakistan’s civilian government is. As Mr Chidambaram has said, this proves that the security provided at the venue would have been very insipid. If you are harboring evil then a day could come when it could strike against you, it could backfire on you. That’s what has happened today in Pakistan, by allowing terrorists to breed on their soil they now face an unexpected situation, the very same terrorists have caused damage to their state. One can barely calculate in what sense these attacks could affect sports and other businesses in Pakistan. Questions shall be raised on the 2011 Cricket World cup matches that would be partly held in Pakistan, including a semi-final match. Even in the meandering approaches Pakistan would be avoided by tourists and other travelers, leave alone sportsmen. Pakistan now has to take control of its nation for its own sake, if it wishes to live another day.
