@ritikdhingra619 @Rajiv1841 What clever strategies? Tactically, Cummins is not as good a captain (I feel Ishan is better); he's great at galvanizing his players and giving them a long rope, so they'll perform more often than not😄. So, he's good in his own way, but not strategically.

@gurkiratsgill As an SRH fan, totally agree with you - absolutely brainless decision - we're 1 bowler short because of that, and it's not like Harsh Dubey can't hit. Even Madhushanka will swing his bat if needed for a couple of balls.

A section of the international media is publishing whatever Pakistan says without even verifying their claims. They are trying to portray Pakistan as the victim, despite knowing the fact that it all started after 26 Indian civilians were killed in Pahalgam, J&K.

The irony is that this section of the media did not bother to cover the photo that surfaced after India's strike on terror camps in Pakistan under Operation Sindoor.

In this photo, Hafiz Abdul Rauf, a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist, is seen leading the funeral prayers for terrorists killed in the Indian strikes in Muridke. Notably, the funeral was also attended by Pakistan Army officials. What more proof is needed?

Yet, a section of the international media chose to ignore reporting on it, simply because it doesn't suit their agenda.

“Bahawalpur.”

I still have chills in my heart from when I first heard that town’s name in late January 2002. For the 23 years since, I have reported on how Pakistani intelligence and military leaders have used that city — Bahawalpur — in the southern province of Punjab as a base for its homegrown domestic terrorists.

When I heard India bombed training camps in Pakistan this week in Operation Sindoor, in response to a Pakistani terrorist rampage in India’s Kashmir state, I had one city’s name on my lips: Bahawalpur.

Did India bomb Bahawalpur?

It did. I knew then India was striking actual hubs for Pakistan’s homegrown domestic terrorism.

Why do I know?

My friend, WSJ reporter Danny Pearl, went to Bahawalpur in December 2001 with a notebook and a pen. Gen. Pervez Musharraf had just promised he was shutting down Pakistan’s militant groups after a strike by Pakistan’s terrorists against the Parliament in India, and Danny reported on the militant offices in Bahawalpur.

He literally knocked on their doors. Dear Dr. @yudapearl, this story is a window into Danny’s reporting enterprise. And because people will wonder: Danny was no cowboy. This was a calculated low-risk reporting trip because no journalist had been targeted for kidnapping in Pakistan. Around that time, Danny sent me an email: “I’m anxious to go to Afghanistan, but I’m not anxious to die.”

What did Danny learn?

The militant training camps were open for business in Bahawalpur.

On Jan. 23, 2002, Danny left a home I had rented in Karachi, Pakistan, for an interview.

I learned Danny’s fixer, Asif Farooqi, had arranged an interview for Danny through a man named “Arif.” Danny didn’t know it but Arif was the PR man for a militant group, Harkutul Mujahadeen. What was Arif’s hometown? Bahawalpur.

The police launched a manhunt to find Arif in Bahawalpur. We learned Arif’s family faked a funeral for Arif. Police found him trying to board a bus in Muzaffarabad, across the country by Pakistan’s border with Kashmir.

It is another town India said it bombed terrorist training facilities.

Arif had handed Danny off to Omar Sheikh,a British-Pakistani dropout from the London School of Economics, radicalized in the 1990s in London mosques. He went to Pakistan to train in these militant training camps. Then he kidnapped tourists in India. He was caught and jailed but on Dec. 31, 1999, he was traded for hostages in the hijacking of Indian Airlines Flight 814.

Omar Sheikh was freed with Pakistani terrorist leader Masood Azhar, whose family was allegedly killed this week by India’s air strike in Bahawalpur.

Did Pakistan jail Omar Sheikh and Masood Azhar when they returned to Pakistan with a third terrorist, freed from India’s jails?

No. Pakistan’s military and intelligence gave them safe passage. They used them as weapons against India. But in fact these domestic terrorists have waged war against innocents in Pakistan, like civil society activists, Benazir Bhutto, Punjab Governor Salman Taseer, schoolchildren and countless others.

Their extremism has ruined Pakistan, and Pakistanis can’t blame America for creating the mujahideen to fight the Soviets in the 1980s.

Pakistan has had a duty to dismantle those terrorist bases — for even the safety of its own people. What India is doing is a strategic attack on terrorist bases Pakistani military and intelligence should have eliminated but never did in their obsession to take over Kashmir.

You will see parallels in the propaganda messages against India and Israel. Like Hamas, Pakistani terrorists crossed a border to kill. Now, Pakistani propagandists call themselves victims of their “fascist” “colonizer” neighbor.

It’s the Reverse Uno strategy of moral inversion, just like @stoolpresidente got from the Temple student who won’t take responsibility for promoting the “HATE THE JEWS” sign. Don’t fall for it. Nations, communities and people must own up to their extremism, from Bahawalpur to beyond.

history between India and Pak since partition and how many times pak has invaded and attacked innocents in India.

@sammas004 @AsraNomani I don't think it is, look at the followers in it's profile.

@mufaddal_vohra Lol, look at Miller's initial reaction 😂😂

@orangebook Thank you for this, just what I needed 😄

@vikramvamsi33 @mufaddal_vohra Yeah, I agree with all these points. Ideally they should have tried Bedi by now, but if you have to choose between Shankar and Hooda, I'd go with Shankar, because he's less worse than Hooda currently.
