Should players of national level and importance, in any sport ,let their personal conflicts disturb their profession , all the more, when it is about nation’s self-respect and pride ? Who is playing dirty politics is surely unknown but should responsible players like Bhupathi and Bopanna disrespect the association and a senior player, in public, by declining to partner with Paes for Olympics ?

Was it Poor Communication between  Pakistani Official that created confusion ?

It is astonishing that Pakistani President’s Office has completely taken a u-turn. Pakistani Media had been highlighting the release of  Sarabjit and critics and extremist groups were also raising voice against this decision of the President.Probably that made the President’s Office name Surjit Singh to be the one to be released and not Sarabjit. And if this was some intentional decision of mocking at India, it is time Pakistan grows up ! Was it lack of Communication between Pakistani officials or Pakistan Government’s  intentional mischief ? The biggest question over here is Surjit Singh has already spend 35 years in Pakistan Jail and that is 5 years more than the term he was supposed to serve.His release was anyways due and did not need any confirmation from Pakistani President’s Office. What made them announce Surjit Singh’s release ? What took the Pakistani Government almost 8 hours to rectify the Media Report about Sarabjit Singh’s release ? This act was either deliberate or a perfect u-turn after constant criticisms from extremist groups which scared the Pakistani President,Zardari .

Well, it has been more than  three and a half years since the incident took place. The terrorists killed hundreds of civilians and police officers and the only terrorist caught was Ajmal Kasab. Thanks to our slow judicial system, the terrorist already lived almost 4 years more. The terrorists had entered with the intention to kill as many as possible before getting killed and now the Government is spending crores of  Rupees on keeping one of them alive for court’s trial. This is likely to repeat, in Abu Jindal’s case as well and the worst part is, it is our, the tax-payer’s hard earned money which rather than being used for some development work is being used to keep terrorists alive and kicking! 🙁
