Publicity for separatists: Political propaganda at Pakistan-Afghan match

That's unbelievable. I am happy that Afghanistan lost all matches. Their attitude was absolutely shit in all matches against all teams except India.



Doesn't really make a difference though, does it?

Matters are decided by people, not by foreign Governments.

It is not good enough. Our enemies are using sporting avenues to spread hate and political messages. As usual we are silent spectators condemning from a safe distance.

PCB needs to grow a spine here. I sincerely hope the government and PCB consult one another after these latest acts of violence.

ICC needs to be put under pressure. Pakistan shouldn't accept this criminal behavior.

Good thing it wasn't timed during India Pakistan match.

 

[maximuswarrior]

The government of Pakistan needs to intervene here. I don't expect much from the Pak embassy in the UK. Neither do I expect any action from PCB. That only leaves the government.

I have already suggested it in another topic. Force ICC to take action. If they don't, pull Pak team ASAP out of this farcical WC. We shouldn't compromise on our territorial integrity. This is a direct attack on Pak sovereignty on British soil. Miscreants have the freedom to challange the writ of Pak state and all of this is being facilitated on foreign soil.

I think we should do the same in next indian match by using balloons or drones with free indian occupied kashmir and khalistan banners

Where is WBO getting the money to fund this huge campaign? This isn't cheap.

I think we all know the answer to that, and considering that the UK is a known hotpot for money laundering,there will never be an investigation done.

It is really obvious that RAW is providing funds to these organizations to organize all this.

But the question is whether or not this is illegal under British law.

However, as far as ICC is concerned, they should most definitely take it up with British Law Enforcements because it is against ICC policies and so, against the host's policies, to politicize an ICC sporting event.

Dubious Role of British Authorities in the name of Freedom of Speech

On a fine morning of 29th June, 2019 while cricket fans had gathered at Headingley Cricket Ground to watch Pakistan play against Afghanistan, a plane high above in the sky ran sorties with banner displayed, the banners read ‘Help End Disappearances in Pakistan’ & ‘Justice for Balochistan’ .

“World Baloch Organization” and “Baloch Republican Party”, two organizations based in Europe, announced on their Twitter handles that the Ad campaign was sponsored by the two groups. The purpose of this campaign was to highlight the genocide of Balochis in Pakistan by the Govt Authorities.

The Aircraft flying in the sky with the banner was a Cessba 182P Tail no. G-ENEA. The aircraft is owned by Air- Ads Ltd a privately owned company in Blackpool. A playback feature in Flightradar allowed us to view the flight path of the aircraft as it flew in the sky above Leeds.

The story would have ended if it was just a banner, but it did not end at that. While reviewing the Social media profile of the advertisement company Air Ads, it turns out that the company was tasked to run same Ad campaign during the match in Manchester b/w Pakistan & India. Social Media handler complained that during Pakistan vs India match, Greater Manchester Police had taken over the control of the AirSpace and barred the company from running the Ad campaign. Page also shared a screenshot of the web site of UNPO ( an NGO), that supports & sponsors organizations like WBO & BRP, the post showed biasness of the Advertisement company as they were more interested in making some hard cash.

When it was not possible for them to run the banners in the sky, they stooped to the lowest level of all and had done something as below:

One thing we can take from the above post is that it is in the hands of British authorities to control what can be published and when they can draw the line. Soon after the banner was showcased, media outlets picked up on it. Each newspaper responded differently to it and reported as per their own perspective

Today was not the first time where such banners were displayed and it is believed that it won’t be the last time. Ever since the tournament started in UK, whenever Pakistan is playing against the other team, such malicious campaigns are run by WBO & BRP. Many billboards,leaflets, mobile Ad Screens have been poping up across the country in last few weeks.

Now the main question, that everyone seeks answer to is, where is Pakistan’s Ambassador to UK? What was his response to all this, did Foreign Office protested to British authorities for allowing such false campaigns? The Graffiti outside Old Trafalgar Stadium is vandalism, did Pakistan Embassy filed a complaint to Manchester Police for opening an investigation into the case?

Does sovereignty only means protecting the borders and ensure that no one intrudes into our borders or Sovereignty means upholding the name of the Country and the Flag wherever that may be?

Foreign Office and Pakistan’s Ambassador to UK should hold their head in shame, they are disgrace to this country and this flag.

Pakistani ambassadors are also usually part of these companies against Pakistan for the nationality if their family and of their self . It ts better to reduce the ambassadors to reduce the enemies of Pakistan and save TAX PAYER money

We should demand the team forfeits this world cup and the foreign office labels the UK as a terrorist supporting nation.
