Islamabad: Reacting strongly to a now-deleted tweet by Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Najam Sethi, Defense Minister Khawaja Asif regretted that the PCB boss compared the state’s security establishment with the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL).
یہ شخص سٹیٹ سیکورٹی اسٹیبلشمنٹ کاموازنہPSL سے کر رہا ھے.کہنےکامطلب ھے سیکورٹی اسٹیبلشمنٹ پہ حملہ حلال ھےاور PSL پہ حرام. یہ ھماری فوج اور پولیس کی جانوں کوئ حرمت نہیں اطمینان ھے PSL محفوظ ھے.یہ ھےھماری اشرافیہ صرف اپنا مفاد عزیز ھےقومی سلامتی اور قیمتی جانیں ڈسپوزیبل ھیں pic.twitter.com/iBBgkzZRis

Mr Asif said, according to Mr Sethi, the TTP attack on the security establishment was “halal” (justified), but “haram” (unjustified) on the PSL. The minister said the country’s elite only cared about its own interests, and that national security and precious lives of the police and army are ‘disposable’.
It is pertinent to note that PCB Chairman Najam Sethi tweeted that the “TTP have said they will only target state security establishment because various “deals” have broken down. There is no threat to PSL. It will go on”. Moments later, he deleted the tweet following immense backlash.
