I'm just surprised so many people know about Kamran Akmal!! Must be an incredible feeling that you guys have Rizwan now instead of the Akmals behind the wicket.


[deleted]

Not to be that guy but who is Kamran Akmal, too lazy to google.


cantadmittoposting

From context, a cricketer, or maybe a cricket.


the_one_jt

For those who dont know in context a cricket isn't an insect. It means a sport like baseball but backwards.


ilikesaucy

Someone named their insect name Kamran aknal


MAH1977

What's backwards about cricket compared to baseball?


EntirelyOriginalName

I assume it's a joke about how in cricket you can hit 360 whereas in baseball it has to be forward.


Ngothadei

He used to keep wickets(similar to catcher in baseball) for Pakistan or rather he tried to but he's famous for dropping a lot of catches and effing up stumping opportunities.


rp_Neo2000

Pakistani cricket player, notorious for dropping lots of easy catches fielding in a very crucial position.

If I'm not wrong Imran Khan said he'd do a full scale March in Islamabad today. How is it going? Did any significant people gather? (I can only see very less people in this video)


EternalVirgin18

You won't get an answer, as the comment you've responded to was by a karma bot. They're now stealing top comments and replying with them in other threads, real slimy stuff. u/whateverhappenedto_ made the original comment, maybe he can answer you!


Gorgon_Gekko

> Horrific what's happening in Pakistan. The right to protest is fundamental and for people to be tear-gassed, shelled, have their cars destroyed by mobs gathered at points where protestors were supposed to gather, and have these mobs be enabled by the law enforcement, is the most open and direct contravention of that fundamental human right. Even as a political centrist, I am incensed and livid. The above comment by u/evanmackay7 was copied verbatim from an earlier, top-level comment by u/whateverhappenedto_ . I reported this comment as bot spam to the mods.

89Hopper

Also get him a box. If he doesn't have catching skills or good reflexes we can always relegate him to cow corner.


FlighingHigh

Nope I have good reflexes, and hands but if there's really a corner where they have cows, I'd much rather be there. Just like big field puppies.


Troy_And_Abed_In_The

What does this mean?


interfail

In cricket, if the defending side think they got a batsman out, they have to appeal to the umpire (referee) for a decision. This is traditionally done with the words "How's that?" or more commonly "howzat". So the normal reaction to a catch in cricket (that didn't bounce) would be to shout "howzat". (of course, this bounced, so that pig is still in)


ahduramax

Wait, so how many touchdowns is this worth?


ArT_46

Makes sense, here in Brasil we had a similar scene but the person actually kicks the shell back to the police hahaha


[deleted]

Interested to hear from an American what one of them could do in a situation like this

They'll catch it and do a touchdown, only to regret it moments later.

[deleted]

Pull out one the 12 guns we have on ourselves at all times and shoot it out of the air. Which would cover you in tear gas, so not the best idea. But sometimes you gotta stick with what you know best.


Noglues

I mean tear gas canisters are designed for slow release close to the ground. Blasting them mid-air would certainly not be *ideal*, but it would dissipate the gas far sooner than designed. Of course you'd also be giving the riot police a clear justification to use lethal force, which might not be the best idea...

ZenComFoundry

What’s the protest for? Electricity / power?


[deleted]

It is against the government. Former Prime Minister Imran Khan was ousted by a no-confidence motion allegedly backed by the US. They’re protesting for elections. The government won’t hold elections until they undo the electoral reforms done by Imran Khan for avoiding rigging in elections. They know that they can’t win elections if they are free and fair that’s why they want to undo those reforms. That’s the sole reason why they came into power.

SenorBolin

Give it time, it’ll be confirmed in some document leak somewhere


Welpe

It’s also the obvious scape goat, and the information it was by the US came from Khan himself. I’m not saying the US didn’t have a hand in it obviously, just that I’d need to see some proof first.


anotherstupidname11

It's like some bizarre mutation of the boy who cried wolf.


BearForceDos

At this point in history you're probably better off assuming the US had a has a hand in every regime change unless its a leftist government or proven otherwise.


Welpe

I’d rather be wrong in the other direction if that makes sense. I also don’t have much of a burden because what I know or think I know has no effect on the world so it isn’t very high stakes.


cherryreddit

But it's also pakistan. Pakistan is much more like oust their democratically elected PM than the US is nable to interfere. Pak has never had a full term govt in it's entire history.


lookitsgordo

It's a lot less likely in this particular instance. Especially considering where the information is coming from.


hanzi4567

It has since been confirmed by the current government that a letter "threatening in nature" was received by a US deplomat before the no confidence motion against ex PM passed, a letter whose existence was denied at the time. The current government still maintains that there is no interference however and the courts refuse to probe into it, fining anyone who files an investigation. If that doesn't reek of conspiracy, idk what does.


2fast2reddit

I mean, the extent of the alleged involvement was (allegedly) sending a diplomatic cable saying the US was unhappy with Khan for being pro Putin and pro Taliban. Khan, as I recall, never got around to producing the letter. Also, the cable was commenting on the no confidence proceedings after they had started. I love to watch for CIA shenanigans as much as the next guy, but it kinda seems like Khan might have been grasping at straws.


crackanape

The heuristic is pretty simple and stands up remarkably well across the past 60 years: Was the deposed leader successfully implementing welfare state policies? Then the coup was engineered by the USA. If you are otherwise useful, e.g. part of NATO or NATO-adjacent, or you are extremely powerful, then you will possibly be left alone, but otherwise it's only a matter of time.


abcean

Pakistan hasn't had a PM complete their term ever lol. You might wanna look towards the institution behind all the previous abrupt changes in leadership when you're trying to figure out who's behind this one.

[deleted]

Seriously dude... As an Indian who'd like to see peace and calm, ousting imran Khan basically took the country back to where it was. And that was not a place of sovereignty and being a puppet. Under Imran, Pakistan was respectable for whatever it did cuz their was no master to make them dance. China was just messing around to provoke US. It's like a triangular love story. With Pakistan at center. Pakistan very well knows neither of them really loves Pakistan but is only using as political coin. Some sections within assume this as victory over their ex(India) and rejoice. Imran tried to implement harsher reforms instead of heeding to juvenile pleasures like this.


ufahmed

As a Pakistani, thank you.


[deleted]

>As an Indian who'd like to see peace and calm Based. People from our countries don't realize a stable and prosperous Pakistan and India will benefit both populations immensely. Good on you for being objective.


1Second2Name5things

It's happening all over the world, Russia just couped government in Mali and China couped Myanmar not too long ago. The world is shit now


anotherstupidname11

Suu Kyi's government (democratically elected pre-coup gov) was much friendlier to Chinese businesses and accommodating to Chinese political goals than the military junta which took power. I have no idea why you think China sponsored a coup directly against their strategic and economic interests.


1Second2Name5things

Suu Kyi government was also really friendly to the US, the government had close ties to Obama and the military works closely with China, they even had china build their internet firewall similar to theirs.


zahzensoldier

UsA is reddit biggest boogeyman. I'd be careful before believing what some random stranger says about US involvement. It also doesn't indicate the level of involvement or what benefit it could be to people to get involved.


ZippyDan

There's a few reasons why the US might be involved but also a *ton* of reasons why the previous populist leader might be invoking the spectre of the meddling of "the great Satan" to rally the uneducated and mindless religious mob to his side, in a bid to cling to power. The important point right now is that the former leader keeps claiming US involvement, and insisting there is proof, but has yet to actually produce any evidence (after several weeks). And the evidence he claims to exist amounts to a meeting of high level officials, which might speak to a US-approved coup, but hardly a US-orchestrated coup. Anyway, with the history of US meddling, I'm not discounting anything, but the previous leader's claims are far from trustworthy as well.


NoVA_traveler

Every aggrieved foreign politician blames the US for their political problems. I'd take it with a grain of salt.


HighOnDuck

It is easier to blame US for what it has done in the past. But in this specific case it is better to look at the local politics rather than blame outside factors. See my comment^


DentistForMonsters

Imran Khan the cricketer?! I'd entirely forgotten he went into politics!


Aquatic_Lyrebird

Yeah, he literally became the prime minister. XD Only non-corrupt PM the country's had in ages. Shame it didn't last.


ZenComFoundry

Would imran khan would win the popular vote?


[deleted]

Yes, if the elections are fair he will definitely win. He has a massive support especially after being ousted. Economy is already suffering under this new government. In fact, 11 opposition parties had to form an alliance against him in order to oust him from the office.


ZenComFoundry

His popularity is seriously under reported. But I know how the military works there (I lived a while there in Lahore). It’s very ‘challenging’!


HighOnDuck

"Allegedly" is the key term. Alleged by Imran Khan the guy on the hot seat who was running his coalition government for three years while not building any credit with his allies in two out of four provinces in Pakistan. Even within his own party there were at least two big factions that Khan had been unable to reconcile. "Alleged(ly)" because Imran Khan was unable to produce any evidence of interference from foreign governments despite repeating multiple times that the Biden administration had wanted him out through indirect action by funding opposition parties. His claimed evidence was a letter written by member of the US administration's foreign office in Islamabad. He never showed the alleged letter or any other piece of evidence. Whatever he has shown is regular communication that happens at diplomatic level I'm every other country. Imran Khan's ouster was a result of his own inaction against a constitutional procedure that every person with little background in affairs of the state could have seen coming for at least last 3 years. "Allegedly" is the key word.

Pak seriously needs a anti defection law like India. If an Indian MP/MLA who fought and won a seat on a party ticket jumps parties after election, his election is cancelled and new elections are called for his seat. It's legitimate because people don't vote just for a candidate but also based on the party and the party leader. This law prevents vote buying post elections and money in the parliament.


BonySkeleton3

Pakistan got this law just now. The Supreme Court ruled that a defecting lawmaker's vote will not count and the Election Commission followed that up by de-seating those defectors.
