Malik's account on Hafiz Saeed puts Pak-India cricket series in jeopardy
2012-12-18
[Dawn] Citing Pak Interior Minister Rehman Malik
Pak politician, Interior Minister under the Gilani government. Malik is a former Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) intelligence officer who rose to head the FIA during Benazir Bhutto's second tenure. Malik was tossed from his FIA job in 1998 after documenting the breath-taking corruption of the Sharif family. By unhappy coincidence Nawaz Sharif became PM at just that moment and Malik moved to London one step ahead of the button men. He had to give up the interior ministry job because he held dual Brit citizenship.
Â’s account on Hafiz Muhammad Saeed
...who would be wearing a canvas jacket with very long sleeves anyplace but Pakistain...
Â’ arrest, Indian opposition on Monday demanded to call off the upcoming cricket series between the two countries, BBC Urdu Service reported.

Leaders of the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) have said that India should refrain itself from having dialogues with Pakistain. Former chief of the party Venkaiah Naidu said terrorism and cricket can not go along. “On one hand they (Pakistain) support terrorism and on the other a cricket series is being host for them…this can’t go side by side,” he said.

The interior minister is back from New Delhi where he went on a three-day visit to formalise a new visa accord last week.

Meanwhile,
...back at the barn, Bossy was furiously chewing her cud and thinking...
Indian Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde also criticised his Pak counterpartÂ’s claim that Islamabad had thrice tossed in the slammer
Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages!
Lashkar-e-Taiba
...the Army of the Pure, an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI...
(LeT) founder Hafiz Muhammad Saeed for his alleged role in the 2008 Mumbai attacks.

“Malik appears misinformed on the matter,” Shinde informed the Rajya Sabha (Parliament.)

Shinde said that through the documents, provided by Islamabad regarding detentions of Saeed on three instances, it is clear that he was arrested for other reasons and not for his role as a conspirator in 2008 attacks.

He pointed out that the Pak interior minister “has been telling us repeatedly that he had arrested Saeed thrice and that, on each occasion, he was let off by the courts for lack of evidence.”

#2  But having researched each and every test I came to the realization that both sides would employ Deep-Brooders on both the fore and the port. So it would be for naught.

Tea?

#1  I was hoping both sides would play a vicious bodyline and do triple-leg-over ball bowling.
