Somebody once said, “Cricket is just a game”. I guess he will be eating his hat now. The high-profile semi-final clash between India and Pakistan at Mohali has been turned into a Political circus of unbelievable proportions.
The congress party is hoping that all the drama will ensure that the focus of the public is shifted away from all the recent scams that has plagued the Manmohan-led government.
The opposition party, BJP, is also happy about this political drama. After Wikileaks did a googly on them, even they are looking for a place to hide and this match is the perfect foil to distract the Indian public.
Meanwhile, it has been learnt that the Pakistan PM too is counting on the distraction created by this match. He believes this is the perfect opportunity to sneak another 30-40 into Kargil. Just like the opportunity provided by the “FRIENDSHIP BUS” a few years ago to infiltrate into kargil while everybody was obsessed with the new “FRIENDSHIP” between the two nations.
Also, Sonia Gandhi is going to accompany the Prime Ministers of the two countries in the VIP box. Soniaji said, “With all the high-profile security arrangements for the match, my long-distance REMOTE with which I Control…ahem.. Advice… Manmohanji will not work. So I will be at the stadium in order to maintain direct contact with our honourable PM.”
