who will protect the 'protectors'...?in lahore attack five policemen lost their lives protecting our cricket heroes…and yet we have learnt no lesson and seem to have moved on already after paying customary condolences…
think of the cop standing alone in photograph…how insensitive we can be towards him…
first he will stand for the protection of our 'beloved netas’ in the hectic scenario of general elections where every party will be counting its chickens to see if they can be in power or not…though needing them but equally oblivious of their presence...
and if that is not sufficient…before this cop can blink eye…he will be seen standing outside stadium or standing alone along side road to sanitise area under hot and relentless sun with many like him...
pakistan sacrificed them under the illusion that cricketers won’t be or rather cannot be attacked…and we are already preparing them for the same under the illusion that even if elections are in place…we can do it without any problem...
even if moving more than hundreds of players…umpires, commentators, thousand crew members… arranging for the security of not only when they will play…when they will move in and out of stadium… but every single second they will spent in our home land…
…and all this while nation will be going through its most important exercise... there is small matter of protecting ‘useless netas’ and ensuring that elections passes out without any untoward incident… thereby saving lives of another useless creature ‘aam janta’ like many of us…!
but no…we will take none of it…
we are more worried about if matches will take place outside of india...there will be less attendance in stadiums...
we are hell bent on seeing ‘city moments of success’ and ‘dlf maximum sixes’ in our homeland... even if the stakes can’t get bigger than this…!!
...as if the moment they wear cop uniform they stop being humans...
can we get more insensitive toward them than this…? do we really care about many other cops like the one above…? do we really need them to be thrown to...to expose to so much of pressure...?
does showing patriotism is as simple as making noises for useless cricket matches…closing eye to the most important thread…security…security man…?
...and if those matches won’t take place in india…we will be so ‘scared’ that we will start feeling ‘sorry’ for being an indian…
can't even laugh about it…
