Corruption is an evil that can’t be finished completely but minimised by rewarding the honest and punishing the corrupt. The recent acts of three Pakistani cricketers not only disillusioned the whole nation but also took their own future into darkness. We would not have faced this disgrace if the PCB had a strict mechanism of vigilance. Now it has been reported that 29 Kabaddi players from Canada, Spain,Norway, Australia, India and the US have tested positive for banned substances but the international media did not give ample coverage to this corruption. No Pakistani Kabaddi player tested positive. I think that corruption in every game is bad. The biased sampling of international media not only disappointed the Pakistanis but also besmirched the image of cricket as a corrupt game. We should appreciate our honest Kabaddi players. They must maintain their anti-corruption stance.

News reports say that as many as 10 PIA planes have been grounded because of mechanical faults. What do you expect when half the maintenance crew is employed on political grounds?
All one hears is not only a pin drop silence, but a stout defence of the incumbent government by the more-loyal-than-the-king brigade, least bothered about more of the same.
Yet the devotees, both the illiterate and the literate, seem to be all set to vote their beloved party back into power. God help us!
