ISLAMABAD-

Parliamentarians from Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) on Tuesday submitted an adjournment motion in the National Assembly Secretariat over the Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan’s invitation to militant Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) for a cricket match.

PPP’s MPs Imran Legahri, Shazia Marri, Ijaz Jhakrani, Kamal Khan and Abdul Sattar Bachani submitted the motion that declared that Khan’s statement came at a very sensitive time and was tantamount to insulting the people and security forces of Pakistan.

On Monday, the minister had invited TTP to play a cricket match.

“I have information that the Taliban keep an interest in cricket. So if this message can go through to them, we can have a cricket match with them which can have a better result,” the minister told media reporters in Islamabad.

TTP spokesperson Shahidullah Shahid had rejected the invitation, saying that the sport was tuning the youth away from ‘jihad’.

  1. Mr. Nisar, every body makes mistakes but only intelligent people admit to them. Are you one of them? The cricket ground on which you propose to play is painted red and you want to lay on a green pitch! Come on you can't be serious. It can't be easy being a interior minister. Just say sorry and get on with the job in hand. To err is human —to forgive is divine. You will be forgiven.

    Alright, it didn't work …
    Would you, next, like to invite them in a 'skinny dip' evening ???
    Who knows! You might get lucky …

  3. Even the worlds best batsmen would not be able to face a taliban rocket coming at them at 500 miles per hour!
