PSL Final Lahore: Cricket Resurrection or a Suicide

Finally the yes and no, no and yes situation is over and Punjab government has come up with a definite decision about the PSL edition 2 Final Match Venue. To the pleasure of millions it is Lahore, the heart and soul of Pakistan. this decision like always has provided a very hot topic to the eager media houses always starving for cracking news. The debate is on ,with every news anchor, correspondent, analyst and journalist busy in sharing their very precious opinion with us and after watching 17 different shows and listening to 40 plus analysts, i am a witness that only 10% declared this decision positive. 
Now move on from the ever exaggerating media to a common person of our society. Well generally there are expressions of exclusive elation on the faces of the cricket loving nationals. But there is a fear lying deep inside everyone's heart. Everyone is thinking what if some unwanted activity occur again, what if we fail to organise a superb event in the way it deserved to be commemorated and honoured.
Well let us be realistic first and it will seem like a suicide. Specially in the conditions when Pakistan is already facing a new upsurge of terrorism in the state. In the scenario of 4 blasts in 4 provincial capitals it is a very arduous task nearly unachievable. Gaddafi Stadium Lahore is not a small ground. It has a capacity of holding 27000 spectators and with such big number of people all flooding in to watch the contest you require at least 10000 security officials according to the LEA's. Then we know Lahore is not a small city. there are many extravagant hotels and marriage halls in the block Gaddafi stadium is situated. Now if the government orders every single shop and hotel to be shut down until 5th March then That is the message you are going to highlight? the heart city of a nation was put to hibernation only to conduct one cricket match? it feels very ruinous. Isn't it?
Now let be HOPEFUL, RESILIENT, STRONG, CHALLENGING & citizens of a nation who is deprived of all formats of cricket at the home grounds for last 9 years, who is a victim of the evil of terrorism for more than 2 decades and has lost thousands of its fellow country men in the war that was never ours, who is watching its players winning trophies and tournaments on the international grounds and is still hopeful that someday these big matches will be in RAWALPINDI,LAHORE,FAISALABAD OR IN KARACHI, who is sacrificng its money,lives and properties to safeguard the sovereignty of its beloved land but never wants the evil footstep of its enemy to ever pollute the integrity of its motherland. Let us be PAKISTANIS who love cricket. forget what the odds are. Be hopeful. Doesn't matter how tough and threatening it is just promise to stand by the law enforcing agencies to make this event successful. Cooperate individually to let it happen. if the reports are true then India has mobilised millions of dollars to take this chance away from us. Let us slap the egotistic and swindler face of our enemy. Let us spoil all its precious money and endless efforts of stopping the PSL final to be held in LAHORE.
this may not be our only chance at bringing cricket to PAKISTAN but This definitely is our biggest chance. Be resilient and anticipative. LET US MAKE IT HAPPEN PEACEFULLY.
PAKISTAN ZINDABAD...........
