Pakistan, Rusting in Its Tracks

Pakistan, Rusting in Its Tracks
By DECLAN WALSH

RUK, Pakistan — Resplendent in his gleaming white uniform and peaked cap, jacket buttons tugging his plump girth, the stationmaster stood at the platform, waiting for a train that would never come. “Cutbacks,” Nisar Ahmed Abro said with a resigned shrug.

Ruk Station, in the center of Pakistan, is a dollhouse-pretty building, ringed by palm trees and rice paddies. Once, it stood at the junction of two great Pakistani rail lines: the Kandahar State Railway, which raced north through the desert to the Afghan border; and another that swept east to west, chaining cities from the Hindu Kush mountains to the Arabian Sea.

Now it was a ghost station. No train had stopped at Ruk in six months, because of cost cutting at the state-owned rail service, Pakistan Railways, and the elegant station stood lonely and deserted. Idle railway men smoked in the shadows. A water buffalo sauntered past.

Mr. Abro led the way into his office, a high-ceilinged room with a silent grandfather clock. Pouring tea, he mopped sweat from his brow. The afternoon heat was rising, and the power had been down for 16 hours — nothing unusual in Pakistan these days.

Opposite him, Faisal Imran, a visiting railway engineer, listened sympathetically to the mournful stationmaster. This was about more than just trains — more than the decrepit condition of the once-mighty state railway service, Mr. Imran said. It was about Pakistan itself.

“The railways are the true image of our country,” he said, sipping his tea in the heat. “If you want to see Pakistan, see its railways.”

For all the wonders offered by a train journey across Pakistan — a country of jaw-dropping landscapes, steeped in a rich history and filled with unexpected pleasures — it also presents some deeply troubling images.

At every major stop on the long line from Peshawar, in the northwest, to the turbulent port city of Karachi, lie reminders of why the country is a worry to its people, and to the wider world: natural disasters and entrenched insurgencies, abject poverty and feudal kleptocrats, and an economy near meltdown.

The election last weekend was a hopeful moment for a struggling democracy, with the party of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif winning a huge mandate amid record voter turnout of nearly 60 percent. But the voting left undecided the larger battle against popular disillusionment. In a country forged on religion, Pakistanis are losing faith. People are desperate for change — for any improvement their proudly nuclear-armed government could make, yet has not.

Chronic electricity shortages, up to 18 hours per day, have crippled industry and stoked public anger. The education and health systems are inadequate and in stark disrepair. The state airline, Pakistan International Airlines, which lost $32 million last year, is listing badly. The police are underpaid and corrupt, and militancy is spreading. There is a disturbing sense of drift.

This failure is the legacy of decades of misadventure, misrule and misfortune under both civilian and military leaders, but its price is being paid by the country’s 180 million people.

To them, the dire headlines about Taliban attacks and sterile arguments about failed states mean little. Their preoccupations are mundane, yet vitally important. They want jobs and educations for their children. They want fair treatment from their justice system and electricity that does not flicker out.

And they want trains that run on time.

Peshawar: The Scarred City

At the journey’s beginning, policemen wielding AK-47s guard the train station in Peshawar, on the cusp of craggy mountains that climb into Afghanistan — one of about 40 such checkposts in a city that has long been a hub of intrigue, but that now finds itself openly at war. Since the first Taliban attacks about six years ago, the city has faced a relentless barrage of suicide bombings. No place can claim immunity: five-star hotels and religious shrines, bustling markets and the international airport, police stations and foreign consulates. Hundreds of people have died.

The train system has been deeply affected. Until a few years ago, the tracks stretched up to the storied Khyber Pass, 30 miles to the west, where one of the last steam trains chugged through the tribal belt. Now that line is closed, its tracks washed away by floodwaters and too dangerous to run even if it were intact, given the insurgent violence.

Khyber also gave its name to the country’s most famous train service, the Khyber Mail, immortalized by travel writers like Paul Theroux. It recalls the heyday of Pakistan’s railway raj, when the train was an elegant, popular mode of travel used by the wealthy and working classes alike, with liveried bearers carrying trays of tea, and pressed linen sheets and showers in the first-class carriages.

But the Awami Express, which waited at the platform, had little of that old-world charm. The carriages were austere and dusty. Porters scurried about in tattered uniforms, taking modest tips from a trickle of passengers. Only one class of ticket, economy, was for sale. The train company, lacking generators, could not offer any air-conditioning.

“We are in crisis,” said Khair ul Bashar, the Peshawar stationmaster, surrounded by giant levers that switch the tracks. “We don’t have money, engineers or locomotives. That’s why there are delays.”

The decrepitude of the 152-year-old railway system has, in recent years, been attributed largely to a Peshawar native: the previous rail minister, Ghulam Ahmed Bilour. A classic product of Pakistan’s patronage-driven politics, Mr. Bilour, 73, faced regular accusations of cronyism, using railway resources — money, land and jobs — to look after his own supporters. Meanwhile, service has floundered. Passenger numbers have plunged, train lines have closed and the freight business — the lifeblood of any train service — has crumbled. The last time the rail system turned a profit was in 1974.

Last year the national anticorruption agency placed Mr. Bilour under investigation; a court later jailed two of the railway’s top managers. The minister avoided prosecution, and in interviews has insisted that a lack of funding was the main problem. More recently, though, Mr. Bilour has become emblematic of another aspect of Pakistani politics: the complex relationship with violent extremism.

When Peshawar erupted in deadly riots last October over an American-made video clip that insulted the Prophet Muhammad, enraged protesters attacked the city’s movie theaters, including one belonging to Mr. Bilour’s family. A day later, the minister made a controversial offer: he would pay $100,000 to anyone, militants included, who killed the offending filmmaker. That gesture ingratiated Mr. Bilour with the Taliban, who offered to remove him from their hit list, but deeply shamed his party, which had suffered fatal militant attacks. In Peshawar, people viewed it with irony: the Bilour cinema was notorious for showing racy films that the Taliban surely would not appreciate.

But the cinemas represented more than just Western culture; they were a rare form of public entertainment in a city that is closing in on itself.

Khalid Saeed, the owner of one of the few theaters left standing in Peshawar, the Capitol, sat in the foyer of the once-grand 1930s-era building, surrounded by tatty posters advertising old action movies. Invading rioters broke his projector and set fire to the screen, he said, but mercifully the flames did not spread.

Still, he said, he understood the frustration. “This is about religion, but it’s also about poverty,” he said, sucking on a cigarette. “There’s so much unemployment here. Young people have nothing to do, nowhere to go. You can read it in their faces. They get upset.”

The rattle of Taliban violence has created a stronger curfew than the local police ever could. Mr. Saeed said his son dared not venture out after dark, fearing attack or kidnapping. And still the militants keep striking.

“Around here, nobody knows what will happen tomorrow,” he said with an air of quiet resignation. “What sort of life is that?”

In Mr. Bilour’s case, the entire episode was for naught. A few months later, in December, the Taliban assassinated his younger brother, the politician Bashir Bilour. As election campaigning got under way recently, a Taliban suicide bomber nearly killed Mr. Bilour himself at a rally in Peshawar’s old city. Then, last weekend, he lost his Parliament seat to Imran Khan — the former sports star who has said the government should negotiate with the insurgents, not fight them.

At Peshawar Station, the Awami Express slowly chugged out, brushing against the yawning canopies of gnarled trees and slicing through a crowded clothing market. The clattering grew faster, carriage doors swinging open and shut, as the train rumbled into the countryside. Its passengers — traders, government employees, large families — stretched out on aged leather seats.

Muhammad Akmal, a 20-year-old ice factory worker, was going home to Punjab for a wedding. “Hope to get married myself, soon — perhaps to one of my cousins,” he said. Hopefully, he added, the train would not be too late.

At Attock, the train crawled over a spectacular bridge spanning the Indus River, passing under an ancient hilltop fort built by a Mughal emperor in the 16th century, now occupied by the Pakistani Army.

Sepia-toned images of sweeping train journeys occupy a central place in the Western imagination of the Indian subcontinent, from movie classics like “Gandhi” to the recent “Slumdog Millionaire.” In real life, the Awami Express possessed little of that romance. The 45-year-old diesel locomotive groaned as it belched pillowy black fumes. Fine clouds of dust entered through the open windows. The carriages jerked violently on the corners.

It was not always so. Much as the American West filled out one train depot at a time, Pakistan was forged on steel rails. The state-owned train system, over 5,000 miles of track inherited from the British at independence in 1947, helped mesh a new and fractious country. Trains ferried migrants to the cities, provided a moving platform for campaigning politicians and played a role in the wars against India. It became — and remains — the country’s largest civilian employer, still with more than 80,000 employees.

Today, though, decades of neglect have taken a heavy toll. On paper, Pakistan Railways has almost 500 engines, but in reality barely 150 are in working order. Most Pakistanis prefer to take the bus. Those left on the trains are often frustrated, sometimes mutinous.

Early last year, dozens of protesting passengers laid their children across the tracks in Multan, in southern Punjab Province. They were angry because a journey that should have taken 18 hours had lasted three days — and they were still only halfway to their destination.

In the train engineer’s seat, Hameed Ahmed Rana, a taciturn man in a neat white shirt and a baseball cap, tugged gently on a brass handle and grumbled. The Japanese-built locomotive wheezed and shuddered. “There’s a problem with the oil pressure,” he said. “Not looking good.”

Mr. Rana guided the train into the garrison city of Rawalpindi, headquarters to Pakistan’s military, where artillery pieces poked out from under awnings. Then it pressed south, the landscape flattening as its colors shifted from stony brown to rich green, rumbling past the rich irrigated fields and orange groves of northern Punjab, the heartland of military recruitment.

Inside the train, fans hung inertly from the ceiling as the day’s heat pressed in. The carriages, filling up, were acquiring the air of a village tea shop. Men smoked and chatted; small traders boarded carrying salty snacks and hot drinks; families with women pulled sheets across their seats for privacy.

The conversation, inevitably, turned to politics and religion. An argument about the merits of various leaders erupted between a Pashtun trader, traveling to Karachi for heart treatment, and an engineer who worked in a military tank plant. “We’ve tried them all,” the engineer said with an exasperated air. “All we get are opportunists. We need a strong leader. We need a Khomeini.”

A group of jolly Islamic missionaries, known as jamaats, squeezed into a long seat, offering a foreign visitor smiles, a snack and an invitation to convert to Islam. “We’re not on this world for long,” said Abdul Qadir, a rotund man with a gray-speckled beard, proffering a plate of sliced apple. “People have a choice: heaven or hell. So they should work toward the afterlife.”

Lahore: Class and Corruption

Almost on schedule, the Awami Express panted into the grand old station at Lahore. A Hollywood movie starring Ava Gardner was shot here in 1955; today the yard is cluttered with empty freight vans.

Once the seat of Mughal emperors who ruled the Indian subcontinent, Lahore is the center of gravity for Pakistan’s cultural and military elite, a city of army barracks, tree-lined boulevards, artists and chic parties. It is also the headquarters of the 152-year-old railway empire. In the 1960s, Pakistan Railways was said to own one-third of the city’s land, and today the company is still run from a towering colonial-era palace, where clerks scurry between offices down polished corridors.

Up close, however, there is evidence of decline.

At the Mughalpura rail complex — a vast yard of workshops and train sheds stretched across 360 acres with 12,000 employees — workers were operating at 40 percent capacity, managers complained. Electricity cuts bring work to a halt, while entrenched unions, a rarity in Pakistan, stridently oppose any efforts to shed jobs or cut benefits. Unions blame management for corruption; managers say the unions are inflexible. Strikes are frequent.

Outside the plant gates, Muhammad Akram, a railway blacksmith, wore a tinsel garland that showed he was on a “token hunger strike,” from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. The system was on the verge of collapse, he said: “It’s like sitting on the edge of the sea, wondering when you will fall in.”

The misfortune of the railways has, however, benefited Lahore’s elite. Traditionally, the city’s wealth has stemmed from the surrounding countryside, where feudal landlords live off the rents of poor peasants. For decades, the landlords have epitomized Pakistan’s gaping divisions: paying no tax, treating seats in Parliament like family heirlooms, virtually a law unto themselves on their own lands. But things are changing. Of late, the landlords are being nudged aside by a new elite, one that has found a home in a gilded country club built on railway land.

The Royal Palm Golf and Country Club, a lavish facility with an 18-hole golf course, gyms, 3-D cinemas and cigar rooms, opened in 2002 at the height of the military rule of Gen. Pervez Musharraf. The club, which costs $8,000 to join, has become a showcase for new money: families that made their fortunes from property and industry, contacts and corruption.

The Royal Palm’s glittering social functions, attended by men in expensive suits and women in ornate gowns, are a staple of local society magazines. The opening of a local Porsche dealership was celebrated here in 2005 with a gala dinner featuring exotic dancers flown in from Europe. Some events even offer alcohol, although guests are encouraged to drop their wine glasses when the cameras show up.

“This is a family club, and a lifestyle choice,” said the manager, an architect named Parvez Qureshi, sitting in his stained-wood office overlooking the golf links.

But the Royal Palm was also built on the bones of the railways.

The rail minister at the time was Lt. Gen. Javed Ashraf Qazi, an ally of General Musharraf’s and a former spy chief who leased the railway’s land to a consortium of businessmen. Critics accused him of giving the land away at a sweetheart rate.

“It was not a clean deal. Absolutely not,” said Nasir Khalili, chairman of the Gardens Club, an officers social club with 1,400 members that had to surrender its property.

The National Accountability Bureau, which investigates official corruption, concluded last year that the Royal Palm deal had cost the government millions of dollars in lost revenue.

It was not the first time that the military had chipped at the rail system. Back in the 1980s, the military ruler Gen. Mohammad Zia ul-Haq diverted train freight business to the National Logistics Cell, a military-run road haulage company that cornered the market for transporting wheat and other commodities. Less publicly it smuggled C.I.A.-financed weapons destined for mujahedeen rebels fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan.

“With freight gone, the railway was doomed,” said Salman Rashid, a travel writer who has specialized in the train network.

One evening, a raucous concert took place on the Royal Palm driving green. Thousands of teenagers crowded onto the grass to see Atif Aslam, a popular singer, in a performance sponsored by a cellphone company. Militant violence has curtailed public events in Lahore; most take place in such cloistered circumstances.

Before a crowd of about 4,000 young people, some joined by their parents, Mr. Aslam, wearing skinny jeans and a fur hat, bounded across the stage in a sea of testosterone, fluttering vocals and crashing guitars.

To a foreigner, many posed a rhetorical question that betrayed their wounded sensitivity to Pakistan’s international image. “Do we look like terrorists?” asked Zuhaib Rafaqat, a 21-year-old computer student. “The West seems to think we are. But look at us — we’re just enjoying ourselves, like anyone else.”

Sindh: Abiding Alienation

Charging across lush fields of wheat and cotton, the train crossed into Sindh Province, where it halted at Sukkur, on the Indus River. The Lansdowne Bridge, completed in 1889, spanned the water — one of several feats of engineering by the British colonialists who hacked through mountains, traversed ravines and cut across deserts to make a railroad in what has become Pakistan.

The railway project was foremost a tool of occupation: first to transport cheap cotton to English factories, later to move troops toward the northwestern frontier to guard against invasion from czarist Russia. Tens of thousands of construction workers died on the job, perishing in blistering summers and freezing winters, or from diseases like scurvy and malaria.

South of Sukkur, waterlogged fields mark a modern calamity: the 2010 floods, which inundated about one-fifth of the country, affected 20 million people and caused up to $43 billion in economic losses, according to some estimates. Topsoil and entire villages washed away in muddy waves, never to return.

In the Awami Express’s grimy dining car, a cook named Amir Khan stirred a greasy chicken broth over an open flame, then flopped onto a stack of soda crates. He gestured to the flood-scarred landscape.

“Zardari will show this to America, so that he can get some money,” Mr. Khan said with a cackling laugh, referring to President Asif Ali Zardari, who comes from Sindh. The cook wiped a mug clean, then paused reflectively. “Maybe if Benazir were alive, things would be different.”

The assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto in December 2007 was a traumatic event for Pakistan, but also for its railways. Enraged supporters attacked 30 train stations across her native Sindh, burning 137 coaches and 22 locomotives in a sulfurous protest at the failure of the state to protect Ms. Bhutto.

Still today, the trains present an easy target for disgruntled Pakistanis. As the Awami Express pushed south, the railway police passed through the train, brusquely searching passengers and their luggage. The police increased railway security after Baloch separatists exploded a small bomb at Lahore Station last year, killing two people. More recently, ethnic Sindhi separatists have singled out the train lines for attack.

Sindh is the hub of Pakistan’s Hindu population, which, like other minorities, has suffered from deepening intolerance in recent years. Stories of forced conversion of Hindu women at the hands of Muslim zealots have caused media scandals; last year some Hindu families, complaining of prejudice, left for India. But they were an exception: most Hindus remained behind, and some are quietly thriving.

At the southern city of Hyderabad, a train branch line jutted into the desert, toward the border with India. This was Thar, a desert region where, unusually, Hindus are predominant. A rural commuter service — a train with open doors and a handful of seats — ambled through irrigated farmland toward the desert. On board were farmers, small traders and pilgrims returning from a Hindu shrine, the bareheaded women adorned in gold and silver jewelry.

At the district’s main town, Umerkot, the local colony of snake charmers lives in the shadow of a clay-walled fort. The chief snake charmer, wearing a bright red turban and playing a flute, entranced a cobra as it curled from a wicker basket. Later, he produced a government certificate that attested to his ability to “perform a dangerous act of passing three-foot snake from nostril and mouth.”

“Half of our people are in India,” he said afterward, pointing toward the desert and the border. “But we feel ourselves 100 percent Pakistani.”

Karachi: The Slum Patriot

Land is gold in Karachi, Pakistan’s tremulous port megalopolis: a city of migrants, filled with opportunity and danger, where space is at a premium that is often paid in blood. Political parties, mullahs, criminal gangs and Taliban militants all battle for land in the city, often with weapons. The railways offer an easy target.

Slums crowd the train lines that snake through the city, pushing up against the tracks. Migrants have been coming here for decades, seeking economic opportunity or, more recently, fleeing Taliban violence.

A short walk from Karachi’s main train station lies Railway Colony Gate No. 10: a cluster of rough shacks, pressed against a slope, bordered by a stagnant pool of black, putrid sewage.

Among its residents is Nazir Ahmed Jan, a burly 30-year-old and an unlikely Pakistani patriot.

Mr. Jan, known to friends as Janu, is from the northwestern Swat Valley, where fighting erupted in 2009. After the Taliban arrived, his family fled Khwazakhela, a village “between the river and the mountain,” which he described with misty-eyed nostalgia: lush fields, soaring mountains and his family’s grocery store, later destroyed in fighting.

In contrast, Karachi is gritty and ugly, he acknowledged. He made his money selling “chola” — a cheap bean gruel — as he guided his pushcart through the railway slum. It earned him perhaps $3 a day — enough to feed his two infant children, if not much else.

But Mr. Jan was an irrepressible optimist. At least Karachi was safe, relatively speaking, he said. And it had other attractions.

In the corner of his home was a battered computer, hooked up to the Internet via a stolen phone line. He used it to write poetry, mostly about his love for Pakistan, he said, pulling out a sample. One couplet read:

“If you divide my body into 100 parts /a voice will cry from each one: Pakistan! Pakistan!"Mr. Jan’s face clouded. He had contacted national television stations, and even the army press service, trying to get his work published, he said, folding a page of verse slowly. But nobody was interested; for now the poetry was confined to his Facebook page.

“I just want to express my love for my country,” he said.

Distrusting politicians, he harbored a halcyon vision of what Pakistan could become: a country that offered justice, free education and health care, where leaders made the people wealthy, and not the other way round. “That would be the Islamic way of serving the people,” he said.

Mr. Jan smiled and, clasping his hands across his chest, excused himself. He had to work. The mountain migrant vanished down the street behind his pushcart, children scurrying around him. He whistled a Pashto folk tune, his soup jostling in the cart.

From the distance came the sound of a hooting train, pulling into the station. It was surely late.

The martyrs of the Tirah Valley

AHMAD\ — Fri, 17 May 2013 16:17:42 GMT

The martyrs of the Tirah Valley

By Sumera Khan

Islamabad: “For me, Mustafa is everywhere, he never left us. Our 7-year-old daughter Rameen is proud of her father’s martyrdom,” says Sadia Mustafa, widow of Major Mustafa Sabir, who embraced martyrdom last week during clashes with militants in the Tirah Valley of Khyber Agency among other 23 military personnel. Rameen talks tirelessly about her father, and misses him badly, especially when she remembers how he would take her for ice cream.
Mustafa was associated with the 8 Punjab regiment while participating in a military operation in Khyber Agency’s Tirah Valley, which fell to the combined forces of the Tehrik-e-Taliban and the Lashkar-e-Islam. It is considered to be a crucial battlefield in Pakistan’s war against both foreign and local terrorists.
The wounds are still raw, but this brave woman dares to share her pain. “We are proud of his martyrdom; Allah granted him what he always prayed for. In accordance with Mustafa’s wish, I want to give my children a quality education so they can also serve their homeland just like their father.”
The valiant Mustafa who had served on key posts such as Siachen, South Waziristan and Swat, was born on September 19, 1978 in Faisalabad. He had joined Pakistan army in 1998 as a commissioned officer and was also part of United Nations peacekeeping mission for Congo.
Sadia said her husband was a brave soldier like his colleagues, adding that she calls up her husband’s unit officials on a daily basis to inquire about their well being.
A decisive operation has been launched against militants in the Tirah valley by Special Services Groups (SSG) forces along with regular troops, during which at least 23 troops have been killed along with local lashkar men. Scores of militants have also been killed.
According to statistics released by ISPR, around 2,400 personnel lost their lives and another 6,500 were wounded just in 2009-2010. In comparison, US/Nato forces in the region combined had a casualty figure of approximately 1,600. This shows the high price being paid by the Pakistani nation to eliminate terrorism. Sadly, it is a sacrifice that is rarely acknowledged and even in Pakistan, we rarely hear of the names behind the numbers.
One such name is of Captain Waseem -u- Din Razi. Just about a month ago, on the 5th of April, this brave son of Pakistan embraced martyrdom in the Tirah Valley.
Born 29 April 1987 in Karachi, Captain Waseem was a gutsy young commando of the SSG who, since his passing out, had participated in many furious military actions including the Swat operation.
As if guided by an inner intuition, Waseem this time paid a short visit to his ancestral home in Islamabad to seek permission for going for Jihad in the line of duty, before the last mission of his life. “It is binding upon us to seek permission from parents before proceeding for Jihad,” he had said. After acquiring that permission from his mother, he loudly said goodbye to all, briskly walked to the vehicle waiting outside his home, and never looked back.
He had promised his mother to call when he reached the operational area. When he did, his mother asked where he was. He replied, “I have reached the place where I was supposed to be”.
During the Swat operation, says his family, Waseem had moments where he questioned what he was doing: Is it okay to fight against our own brothers? He would wonder. But when he encountered the opponents on the ground, he found that the militants, who claimed to be fighting for Islam, were themselves violating Islamic injunctions. Waseem was disturbed at their brutality, their executions and hostage-taking and their acts of forcing young girls to marry them against their will. Since then, Capt Waseem Shaheed very devotedly started seeking inspiration from the guiding principles of religion, and had a clear understanding of the concepts of martyrdom and Jihad. He knew that this was his war, and in the valley of Tirah, he gave his life fighting it.

Pakistan Cricket Team embarks on UK tour with high hopes

Faisal — Tue, 14 May 2013 12:29:32 GMT

KARACHI:

Pakistan players may have missed the Indian Premier League (IPL) but enough preparations have been made to equip the team ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy � the last edition of the 50-over event.

A tough tour of South Africa followed by the domestic one-day event and a training camp in Abbottabad has prepared the team well as it flew to the UK last night.

After playing One-Day International (ODI) series against Scotland and Ireland, comprising two matches each, Misbah�s men will take on the West Indies, South Africa and world champions India in Group B games at the Champions Trophy to begin from June 6 in England.

I am very hopeful: Misbah
Despite being placed in a tough group, Pakistan are confident of winning the title, said captain Misbahul Haq.

�I�m hopeful,� said Misbah on the eve of the team�s departure. �The conditions in South Africa were tough and that will help us in England. The conditions are not going to be tougher than what we�ve already experienced and I think we�re ready for the Champions Trophy.

�We have a young team but I am confident the players will do well. Our youngsters have a history of doing well in major competitions. It is a balanced squad and if we get pacer-friendly pitches we have Junaid [Khan] and [Mohammad] Irfan who have been performing well. We have quality spinners as well and I�m confident that our top-order will do well too.�
However, Misbah expressed concern over the batting form of the team�s lower-order.

�This is an aspect on which the coaches have worked on a lot because we�ll need them to contribute with the bat especially in the absence of all-rounders like Shahid Afridi and Abdul Razzaq.�

�No one�s the favourite�
The Pakistan captain also refused to rate any team favourite for the upcoming tournament.

�There are no favourites in Twenty20s and ODIs. The team that plays well on the day will be successful. We are not bothered by the presence of tough teams in our group as the team is ready to face all obstacles.�
The captain added that matches against Scotland and Ireland will help the players acclimatise with the conditions.

To a query on Trent Woodhill�s appointment, Misbah hoped the new batting coach will bring improvement in the team.

Head coach Dav Whatmore also reiterated the team�s aim of winning the title.

�Our intent is to win in every series and this tournament is no different,� said Whatmore.

�Spot-fixing scandal still haunts�
Pakistan manager Naved Akram Cheema termed the upcoming tour of England sensitive as team will return to the country for the first time after the infamous 2010 spot-fixing case.

Pakistan cricket hit a new low during their last England tour following the spot-fixing scandal that saw former captain Salman Butt, Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif being jailed and banned from cricket.

Three years on, the scandal still haunts Pakistan as Cheema said special preparations were made to avoid controversy. �It�s a sensitive tour,� said the manager. �We have briefed the players and they�re aware of the importance of this tour. Besides, efforts were also made to raise their motivation level. There can be people with vested interests who can malign our name to put us under pressure during the Champions Trophy.� However, the manager hoped the team will come out of the tour unscathed.

New government brings survival challenge for Ashraf

Faisal — Tue, 14 May 2013 12:26:19 GMT

KARACHI: The top officials of Sialkot and Faisalabad regions where the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) imposed an ad-hoc system have vowed to accelerate their campaign against Chairman Zaka Ashraf�s removal, as the new government looms after the general elections.

Both the associations tussled with the PCB after electing Ashraf for a four-year term through an electoral process as per the new constitution. But, the process saw no representation of the country�s largest province and city, Punjab and Karachi respectively.

The two bodies filed a petition against the election at the Lahore High Court terming it illegal with the hearing due on June 18.

The PCB, while giving reasons for the snub of the major associations, insisted that elections in the two regions along with other regional bodies were due and subsequently imposed an ad-hoc system forming interim committees there.

Associations to demand �justice� from new govt
The development added fuel to fire in the tussle as Sialkot and Faisalabad have vowed to fight their case with full strength.

�First of all we will challenge the ad-hoc,� Zulfiqar Malik, who led the Sialkot Region, told The Express Tribune.

�We already went to court challenging the election and while the case was under trial, the PCB imposed an ad-hoc which is illegal.

�We will also register our strong demand to PML-N [new government] to take notice of the false election which was rather a selection.

�The leadership of PML-N is keen in promotion of cricket and we will brief them in detail about the whole episode. Hopefully, it will ensure transparency in the PCB set-up.

�I will advise Ashraf to walk himself out of the PCB office because he did not follow the required criteria.

�He was a political appointee and since his party has now lost the mandate his fake election drama will not work.�

Meanwhile, Chaudary Mohammad Anwar of the Faisalabad Region has vowed to fight till the end.

�The new government has brought lot of hopes to rescue cricket,� he said.
�We will make demands to the new government while we are also preparing a strong case for legal battle with the help of our lawyers.�
A sports analyst close to the PML-N leadership said the party will definitely look in to the matter soon after settling.

�PCB followed all ICC recommendations�
A PCB official close to the chairman sounded unperturbed about the opposition.

�The associations challenging are at the wrong end since they haven�t held elections in their own regions,� said the official.

�The new PCB constitution is in line with the ICC�s recommendations and any government intervention may invite trouble.�

'I have decided to return to my natural game' -Misbah

GermanG — Mon, 13 May 2013 19:46:33 GMT

You are almost 40. As a cricketer, what does this mean for you?
My career has a lot of exceptions. I had a late debut in first-class and international cricket. Then the 2007 comeback, which was exceptional as it's hard to come back at that age. So I don't see age as a barrier in any way. I should be looking at how fit I am with regard to my endurance and performance. My body and mind are fully supporting me, and this is the reason I continue. It's all about how comfortable a player is with his age.
After the Sydney Test, you were almost done with your cricket career. Do you think you have been lucky?
It depends on how committed you are with yourself, and what you are willing to do for yourself. I was really disappointed that I wasn't consistent with my performance, and was thinking of quitting. But it was tough to call it a day on such a poor note. I went back to domestic cricket, rediscovered myself, and realised that I still had the passion and the interest. So I decided to play and leave on a high note.
There is a view that you deserve credit for bringing a much-needed calm to Pakistan cricket. How did you tackle the storm after the spot-fixing debacle in England?
Indeed [it was] a huge responsibility. It was a really difficult situation for Pakistan cricket. But it's unfair for me to take the entire credit. Everyone played their role: the board, the coaching staff, and the new players. I was given a task to rebuild everything from scratch with a group that was new and inexperienced. But the results after all those debacles - in 2009 and 2010 - were incredible.
The main driving force was the will to prove everyone wrong and regain credibility. Everyone was committed to moving on and starting afresh. As a captain it's always important to be trusted. They not only trusted me but also played as a unit.
Did captaincy transform you into a defensive player?
In 2007 my role in the team was a different one. As a No. 6 batsman, I was aggressive in the presence of Mohammad Yousuf and Younis Khan - who were taking most of the responsibility to play out all the overs and keep rotating the strike. But with Yousuf being dropped, it was a huge gap to fill, and the responsibility came on me. I was given a role when I led the team after the spot-fixing fiasco: to stay in the middle till the end. And this is the reason for the phase when I held my shots and didn't play to my strengths. When you play like this, you lose your confidence and can't give your best. But now I have given this approach a rethink and have decided to return to my natural game.
I was more concerned about positive results. Whether I was defensive or aggressive, what was important was to win. It was important to get results.
You were heavily criticised by the Pakistan fans for your approach. Do you feel a sense of siege with so much public scrutiny?
I understand people in Pakistan are very concerned about their cricket stars. These days cricket is being discussed and players are being analysed by everyone, irrespective of whether they understand the game or not. But as national cricketers, we are used to it. One must have belief in oneself. I do assess the criticism but also evaluate if there is any hidden interest behind it. If it's a logical and fair point, I do consider it and try to address it on the field.
So did you step down from Pakistan's T20 side because of some criticism that you felt had logic?
I left for one simple reason: I wanted to give a youngster a chance to fill my place. Pakistan cricket needs more players in their set-up for the future. Their development is also important, and T20 is a format where you can easily try out a youngster. Once you identify a future prospect, you can try him out in the T20 format and then decide to pick him for Tests or ODIs.

Was it easy for you to step down?
Leaving any format of the game isn't easy. Especially for me, since T20 was the format that had a significant impact on my career. In 2007 I made a name for myself because of T20. So it was a tough call, but I had to take a decision for the benefit of the team and future of Pakistan cricket. I continue playing T20 for the regional team and leagues but have no intention of returning to the Pakistan T20 squad.
Do you think people expect you to take a charismatic approach to the game? Like [Shahid] Afridi�
Every player is different. In a team of 11, each player has his role. Not every player can bat with a strike rate of 150. Afridi has his own strengths but also has negative points. That's the case with every player, including me. As a player you need to understand your game. If you go beyond the limits of your role, you are actually not doing what is good for yourself and for the team. You can't always win by being aggressive.
There is a persistent view that you are actually a defensive captain.
Maintaining a balance is very important. You have to be sensible enough to see the requirement. It is pointless to show unnecessary aggression, to attack when it's time to absorb pressure and stay on the back foot. It's a strategic thing that you have to manipulate according to the situation. And ultimately it's the results that matter. When you are winning, there is no point in showing off with unnecessary aggression.
Who would you want to pick out as your successor as captain?
At the moment I don't think anyone is ready. In Pakistan we need someone who has experience, and we need to develop a player's captaincy skills before handing him the responsibility. [Mohammad] Hafeez, in the meantime, has a strong case because he has ample experience of captaining various sides at the domestic level.
Which player can develop into the most assured one in the team?
Asad Shafiq. He is a sort of player who can give stability to the middle order. He has got a sound temperament and is technically good, someone who can replace a player like Younis or me in the team.
What are your thoughts on the future of Pakistan cricket?
Over the last two years things have been going well but Pakistan cricket has to lift its domestic structure. We can't rectify the limitations and shortfalls without mending the structure. The current set of youngsters, and those who are coming up, is seriously suffering with no international cricket being played on home soil.
The current lot has surely got talent but they are raw and things are moving very slowly for them. We can't get them to raise their quality without playing international cricket in Pakistan. But given the circumstances, things aren't that bad. Sure it's a bit inconsistent but we have the X factor, and we always have a chance of beating any team in the world. So I am optimistic about the future.

For many years, selectors have constantly changed the look of squads. For a captain how difficult is to lead a side with so many new faces in every series?
In the last five or six years we have lost so many established players in unexpected ways. Some retired, some were banned for match-fixing, and some went out of contention for reasons unknown. It's not easy to replace players like Inzamam, Yousuf and Shoaib Akhtar.
I agree that there have been changes in every series but we are in a transition and are trying out different players to get a good combination - which is obviously a drawback, as we can't produce results consistently. There is a lot of fluctuation in our performances but it is natural. We played Tests with a mostly consistent line-up for two years and produced good results, but unfortunately we aren't well settled at the moment. It takes time.
How much longer do you expect to be with the Pakistan team?
I have not taken a final decision. I'm happy with my fitness, form, and most importantly, passion for the game. My body is responding to what I want it to do. Obviously I can't be with the team all my life. But I haven't thought of the long term. When I feel I am losing interest in cricket, I will think of parting ways.
As a captain do you miss Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir? If they were in the side, would Pakistan be a better team than it is at the moment?
Indeed it was a blow. Amir and Asif were ruling while Butt was getting mature as a player. Replacing such players takes time. But in the end we have to rely on our available resources and plan for the future, hoping that they will give their best.
Let's not take away credit from those who rose in the time of despair and pessimism. We beat the world's best team, England, and had a splendid winning record.
What do you feel are the reasons for Pakistan's chronic batting problems? You, as a captain have admitted often that the batsmen have made mistakes, and vowed to improve. But that never seems to have happened.
Behind the scenes you try hard to improve but at the same time you have to keep in mind the quality of batsmen we have. Most of the batsmen are young and haven't played a lot of cricket. They lack experience. Of the six or seven regular batsmen, there are hardly one or two who have some experience. Even I haven't played a lot of cricket. We don't have star batsmen like most other teams. Nasir [Jamshed], Asad, Umar [Akmal] and many others are still young. They will gain experience with time.
There is a view that you avoid personality clashes. Is this a reason for your success as captain?
I have always tried to avoid conflicts. After the [spot-fixing] fiasco, there was a need for stability and to avoid disputes at any level. Obviously every player has his own mindset and a captain needs to be flexible to deal with this. We needed solutions rather than leaving things unsolved and making them more complex.
Pakistan was humbled in South Africa, losing the Test series 3-0. What do you have to say about this?
That was a really disappointing series. Teams visiting South Africa are always uncomfortable and we knew what to expect. We almost caught them by surprise in the second Test and that showed us that this side has the capability to turn things around. We should have grabbed the opportunity to go 1-1. We were flat and, no doubt, they were the better side playing at home.
But in the end you learn a lot in defeats and I am sure this will help us in the Champions Trophy next month.
Any regrets in your career so far?
A big no. I've always looked ahead and never tried to turn back. Sometimes things do get to you and you think about the past, but I have tried to make my future better rather than living in the past.

Quaid-e-Azam said: "The constitution of Pakistan has yet to be framed by the Pakistan Constituent Assembly. I do not know what the ultimate shape of this constitution is going to be, but I am sure that it will be of a democratic type, embodying the essential principle of Islam. Today, they are as applicable in actual life as they were 1,300 years ago. Islam and its idealism have taught us democracy. It has taught equality of man, justice and fairplay to everybody. We are the inheritors of these glorious traditions and are fully alive to our responsibilities and obligations as framers of the future constitution of Pakistan. In any case Pakistan is not going to be a theocratic State to be ruled by priests with a divine mission. We have many non-Muslims --Hindus, Christians, and Parsis --but they are all Pakistanis. They will enjoy the same rights and privileges as any other citizens and will play their rightful part in the affairs of Pakistan."

Political �fatwa�: Voting for PTI is haram, says Maulana Fazl

Jinx Jack — Sun, 05 May 2013 11:22:21 GMT

DI KHAN: Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Saturday declared it �haram� to vote in favour of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan and his candidates.

Imran Khan, according to Fazl, is being sponsored by the West and the Jewish lobby.
Fazlur Rehman used every word that would foment hatred against any person in the conservative masses of Pakistan. He called Imran an agent of �Americans, Jews, Ahmadis and a person of ill character�.
�A person who could not make his own children Muslim nor Pakistani, is dreaming of becoming prime minister of Pakistan and making the country an Islamic welfare state,� Maulana said.
�The Yahoodi (Jewish) lobby�s money is working (for Imran),� he said.
�I am asked, �what is the proof that he (Imran Khan) is an agent of the Jews,� I say there is only one proof and it is my own responsible personality. I am so righteous that I would never talk ill against anyone. This is enough that Maulana Fazlur Rehman says that he is a Jewish agent.�
He went on to give a joint declaration of the clerics belonging to the JUI-F. �We the Ulema have agreed that giving vote to PTI is haram.
Anyone who casts his or her vote for Imran or to a person who is contesting election on the ticket on PTI is involved in haram and such a person is going against Sharia,� the chief of the JUI-F said.

Video Funny : Random video shots of daily life

The following video seems to have been done with the aim of showing how we are filmed everyday even in our intimate moments by video cameras but when a man does this openly and in public, people get offended.
I would not personally appreciate either but cool stuff :D
