The future of cricket and other sports is jeopardized, says Shahid Hussain from Karachi


Raising the threshold of terror


Rishad Mahmood, Sports Editor, The Dawn, Pakistan's leading English newspaper told TSI that an Indian under-21 hockey team was expected to come to Pakistan in December in 2008, but the visit was cancelled at the last moment at Amritsar because the Indian government said it had information about security threat to its players. After that, secretary, Pakistan's ministry of sports issued a statement that Pakistani hockey and squash teams were to play matches in India but now they are not sure the teams would visit India. "After the attack on Sri Lanka team in Lahore I don't think that there will be any matches between Pakistan and India," he said.

Political analysts take a broader view. “The biggest domestic implication is the further evidence of statelessness of Pakistan,” Dr Syed Jaffar Ahmed, leading social scientist and Director, Pakistan Study Centre, University of Karachi, told TSI. “Suicide attacks are quite common in Pakistan and law enforcement agencies are totally helpless and terrorists have taken the entire country hostage,” is his grim conjecture.

Political parties have reacted differently. Right wing Jamaat-e-Islami chief, Qazi Hussain Ahmed, sees a 'foreign hand’ in the terrorist attack while former ISI chief, Gen. (retd.) Hameed Gul sees India as directly behind the attack as a tit-for-tat for the Mumbai carnage and as a ploy to isolate Pakistan.

But eminent scholar and defence analyst, Dr. Ayesha Siddiqa Aga, sees serious implications in making speculative statements. “We are pointing a finger at India and if there is any evidence, it will make peace between the two countries extremely complex, but relations with other countries will not be affected,” she told TSI.
