starting of police reforms. Banned organisations will not be allowed to organise rallies. The government is doing surveillance of seminaries and educational institutions; however, the information is confidential, so is not being sheared with media,” he said.
Talat Masood in the programme said the same forces, which were involved in attack on Sri Lankan cricket team in 2009, are even now threat for cricket in Pakistan. “Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) is foe of cricket and other cheerful activities in Pakistan and we can expect anything negative from the people having such theories and mentality,” he said. “Pakistani people have vowed that terrorists would be defeated at any cost, so the visit of the Zimbabwe team would be successful,” he added.
He maintained that as literate people were behind the 9/11 terrorist attack on US, in Pakistan, some depressed educated people, who are exploited by the country’s enemies, might be involved in terrorism for shaking the state.
Shahid Latif said that cricket between Pakistan and Zimbabwe is auspicious and good for future of Pakistan. “If the current tour of Zimbabwe team remains successful other teams would definitely come to Pakistan,” he said.
“If we want to find out the root cause of the terrorism in the country then we must take threats of RAW seriously,” he said. He added that The Indian secret agency could have access to Pakistani universities and seminaries.
Shahid Latif said in the 20 points of National Action Plan, only two points had been implemented, including formulation of courts and amendment in the Constitution, however other 18 points are yet to be worked out.
Amjad Shoaib, participating in the programme, said that after Lahore there must be international cricket matches in Karachi and Peshawar, and inhabitants of these cities must not be deprived of cricket matches.
“India must be ashamed of blaming Pakistan for terrorism as there has not been any terrorism incident in India after Mumbai attack in 2008. India’s aim is to make Pakistan fragile inwardly, but it will not succeed in its malicious designs,” he said.
He clearly said that finger pointing on Madrasas is not wrong. He said not only seminaries but there had been problem of extremism in universities as well. “Whenever there were raids on Punjab University, armed people were always arrested from there,” he said.
