Loud Thinking

New Year 2026 Greetings

As the new year 2026 unfolds, we extend our heartfelt wishes to the people of India for peace, stability, and prosperity. This message from Pakistan comes not as a gesture of weakness, nor as rhetoric, but as a confident appeal rooted in realism, dignity, and goodwill.

If friendship is to exist between our two nations, it must be sincere and meaningful, not symbolic, selective, or hypocritical. True friendship cannot flourish amid double standards, nor can peace endure where mistrust is cultivated as policy.

Pakistan today stands as a strong, resilient, and fully capable country, secure in its sovereignty and firm in its deterrence. This strength is not meant for aggression, but for stability. At the same time, the strategic reality of our region is undeniable: neither India nor Pakistan can conquer the other without inviting mutual destruction. Conflict between us promises no victor; only irreversible loss.

So why must we continue to exhaust our energies on imagined hatreds and inherited animosities? Why remain captives of a painful past when the future calls for wisdom, restraint, and vision?

Let this new year be a conscious moment of renewal.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,

Ring, happy bells, across the snow:

The year is going, let him go;

Ring out the false, ring in the true.

Let us choose genuine peace which must be grounded in mutual respect and strategic balance. Let fear give way to confidence, and provocation to dialogue. Let both nations feel secure enough to step back from perpetual confrontation and redirect their immense potential toward human progress.

Ring out the false pride of place and blood,

The civic slander and the spite;

Ring in the love of truth and right,

Ring in the common love of good.

Ring out old shapes of foul disease,

Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;

Ring out the thousand wars of old,

Ring in the thousand years of peace.

Let us fight the real enemies that plague our peoples with poverty, hunger, disease, ignorance, and inequality. Let us imagine a subcontinent known not as a nuclear flashpoint, but as a cradle of civilisation, commerce, culture, and compassion.

India and Pakistan need only a single uninterrupted decade of authentic and sustained peace to transform South Asia into one of the most powerful economic and cultural regions of the world. The condition is simple yet profound: peace must be genuine, consistent, and mutual; like the peace that binds today’s Europe.

Why should India and Pakistan continue to live like a divided Korea: eternally mobilised, mistrustful, and frozen in hostility? Why can we not live like a united Europe? Europe, once shattered by centuries of conflict and two world wars, chose reconciliation over revenge; and today reaps the dividends of peace, integration, and shared prosperity.

Both India and Pakistan are nuclear-armed states. War between us is not courage; it is collective suicide. Even the illusion of “limited war” is a dangerous fantasy. Any escalation risks destruction so vast that it would poison not only our lands, but the future of generations to come.

Peace, therefore, is not a concession. It is the highest form of strategic wisdom.

Disputes will remain; no neighbours are without differences. But civilisation advances when peace is given priority over provocation, and dialogue over dogma.

Let us make a new beginning with the simple and humane resolve:

Long live the friendship of the teeming millions of India and Pakistan.

With respect, confidence, and sincere hope for a peaceful and prosperous year ahead.

The Honourable Prime Minister
Islamic Republic of Pakistan
Islamabad

Respected Prime Minister,

Wishing you, your family and your team members a very happy, prosperous and successful new year 2026.

By the Grace of Allah Almighty and the unparalleled sacrifices of our martyrs, Pakistan today stands at the zenith of its diplomatic and military stature. Its global standing, credibility, and respect, particularly among Islamic nations, are at one of the strongest points in its history. Pakistan is widely regarded as a responsible, resilient, and principled state, possessing the moral and military authority and strategic capacity to play a leading role in shaping regional and global discourse.

This favorable moment places Pakistan in a unique and historic position to assume moral and strategic leadership of the Ummah, and to guide Muslim nations towards greater unity, cooperation, and collective strength in addressing shared political, economic, and security challenges.

In view of this exceptional opportunity, it is respectfully suggested that Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif consider taking a bold and visionary step by convening an Islamic Summit of Muslim leadership in Pakistan in early 2026. Hosting such a summit would not only reinforce Pakistan’s leadership role within the Islamic world, but also provide a vital platform for meaningful dialogue on unity, economic collaboration, conflict resolution, and the collective future of the Ummah.

Particular emphasis may be placed on longstanding and urgent issues, including the just resolution of the Palestine question with the establishment of an independent State of Palestine with Al-Quds Al-Sharif (Jerusalem) as its capital, as well as the grant of the inalienable right of self-determination to the Kashmiri people living under Indian occupation. Timely collective action is especially critical in light of ongoing nefarious efforts of the Indian government to alter the demographic and political realities of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJ&K).

It is sincerely hoped that the above suggestion will be given due and timely consideration in the larger national interest and for the collective good of the Ummah. The present moment offers a rare convergence of diplomatic credibility, international goodwill, and strategic relevance for Pakistan. In the realm of diplomacy and international geopolitics, timing is everything, and decisive leadership at this juncture could yield historic and enduring outcomes for Pakistan and the Muslim world alike.

With the highest respect and kindest regards,

Yours truly,

Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad

His thought-provoking visionary insights have reshaped global discourse, capturing the attention of world leaders.

A New Doctrine of Peace for Afghanistan and Pakistan.

History repeatedly teaches a painful lesson: peace imposed by power is temporary, but peace rooted in conscience is permanent. This truth is not only political wisdom; it is also a Qur’anic principle. The Holy Qur’an reminds us:

“And reconciliation is best.” (Qur’an 4:128)

For more than four decades, Afghanistan and Pakistan, two brotherly nations bound by geography, faith, bloodlines, culture, and shared suffering; have attempted to resolve disputes through conventional diplomacy, security-centric policies, and external mediation. These efforts, both formal and informal, have largely collapsed or failed to deliver sustainable peace.

This failure demands not another tactical adjustment, but a paradigm shift.

What is required today is not the art of war, but the Art of Peace: a new doctrine rooted in indigenous wisdom, Islamic ethics, and collective conscience.

The Collapse of Conventional Diplomacy

Traditional diplomatic channels between Afghanistan and Pakistan have reached an impasse. High-level talks, border mechanisms, security dialogues, and third-party interventions have repeatedly broken down under mistrust, power asymmetry, regional interference, and conflicting strategic doctrines.

Diplomacy conducted exclusively through state bureaucracies has failed because it overlooks a fundamental reality this conflict is not merely political but, it is social, tribal, religious, and historical, as well.

Islam itself cautions against hollow agreements devoid of moral substance. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ warned that justice without sincerity cannot endure, and history affirms this wisdom.

When peace is negotiated only by elites and enforced through coercive instruments, it lacks legitimacy at the grassroots level. Such peace remains fragile, transactional, and reversible.

The present moment marks a rare historical juncture where both nations must acknowledge an uncomfortable truth: the old tools cannot repair a broken moral order.

The Art of Peace: A New Doctrine

The Art of Peace is a doctrine that rejects coercion as the foundation of stability and replaces it with conscience, legitimacy, and collective ownership. It is inspired not by foreign conflict-resolution models, but by the Islamic tradition of Sulh (reconciliation), Pashtunwali, and tribal consensus-building (Jirga).

The Qur’an commands:

“If two groups of believers fight, make peace between them.” (Qur’an 49:9)

This verse does not delegate reconciliation to power alone—it entrusts it to believers of moral standing.

Core Principle:

Peace is not an agreement between states alone, it is a covenant between peoples, witnessed by God. This doctrine proposes a Combined Council of Tribal and Religious Elders from both Afghanistan and Pakistan as:

• Primary Negotiators

• Moral Guarantors

• Custodians of Peace

Why Tribal and Religious Elders?

Across the Afghan–Pakistani belt, tribal elders and respected religious scholars command something no state institution can manufacture: moral authority and social legitimacy. Islam has historically recognized the role of Ahl al-Hall wal-‘Aqd (or Ahl al-Halli wal-‘Aqd) means those with wisdom, trust, and authority; to guide society during crises. These figures:

Understand local grievances better than distant diplomats. Speak the language of honor, faith, and reconciliation. Can enforce peace not through force, but through moral accountability and communal obligation.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:

“The believer is the one from whose tongue and hand people are safe.” (Hadith)

Historically, when tribal consensus was achieved in this region, borders were calm; even without fences, checkpoints, or surveillance regimes.

Structure of the Proposed Peace Mechanism

1. Joint Council of Elders (JCE)

A balanced, representative body of:

• Tribal elders from border regions

• Respected religious scholars (ulema)

• Neutral moral figures trusted across divides

This council would be independent of daily politics, yet grounded in Islamic ethics and protected lawfully by both states.

2. Mandate of the Council

Address all bilateral disputes (border tensions, refugee issues, militancy narratives, trust deficits); conduct dialogue grounded in Qur’an, Sunnah, and tribal customs and issue binding moral verdicts endorsed by both governments.

The Qur’an commands justice even between rivals:

“Do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. (Qur’an 5:8)

Their decisions would not replace state sovereignty, but, anchor it in legitimacy and divine accountability.

3. Dual Guarantee System

Moral Guarantee by elders and religious leaders, political guarantee by the governments of Pakistan and Afghanistan wherein, any violations of peace would be treated not only as political breaches, but as moral transgressions (zulm): a concept Islam condemns unequivocally.

Winning Hearts and Minds Without War

Wars may defeat enemies, but they never win hearts. Hearts are won when people feel heard, respected, and protected.

The Prophet ﷺ conquered Makkah not through vengeance, but through forgiveness by declaring:

“Go, for you are free.”

This doctrine recognizes that security comes after trust, not before it. Stability emerges from dignity, not domination, peace must grow from within societies, not be imposed from above.

Winning hearts and minds mean ending the cycle of suspicion, where every incident is viewed as hostility and every border issue becomes a trigger.

Beyond Peace: A Vision of Confederation

If Pakistan and Afghanistan choose peace; not tactically, but ethically and spiritually, they unlock historic possibilities.

Islam encourages unity:

“Indeed, this Ummah of yours is one Ummah.” (Qur’an 21:92)

A future Pak-Afghan Confederation, even in a loose form, could:

• Enable shared economic corridors

• Harmonize border management

• Reduce external manipulation

• Create a unified regional moral and political voice

Such a confederation would not erase sovereignty, but strengthen it through cooperation and mutual trust.

A Message to Leadership

To the leadership of Pakistan and Afghanistan:

This is not a call for retreat, nor an appeal to weakness. It is a call for strategic wisdom guided by faith.

Islam teaches that strength lies not in domination, but in justice.

Power can silence guns, but only conscience can silence hatred.

The Art of Peace does not abandon the state but, it completes it by reconnecting governance with the moral soul of the people. History will not remember how many operations were conducted or fences erected. It will remember who dared to choose reconciliation when retaliation was easier.

Conclusion:

The failure of formal and informal diplomacy has made this new doctrine not optional, but necessary. Afghanistan and Pakistan stand at a crossroads: continue repeating exhausted strategies, or pioneer a peace rooted in their own faith, traditions, and moral authority.

The choice is stark but, hopeful.

Peace imposed by power is temporary. Peace rooted in conscience and guided by faith; is permanent.

nayyarahmad51@gmail.com The writer is a senior corporate leader and strategic analyst. His thought-provoking visionary insights have reshaped global discourse, capturing the attention of world leaders. His writings have not only resonated with heads of state and governments but have also influenced the foreign policies of the United States and other major powers.

The idea of a Pakistan–Afghanistan Confederation has surfaced multiple times throughout South Asian and Central Asian history.

Though it never materialized, the concept reflected a deeper geopolitical, ethnic, economic, and security-driven logic.

Understanding why such a confederation was proposed and how it could theoretically have been achieved; offers important lessons for future regional cooperation.

1. Historical Context: Why the Idea Emerged

1.1 Shared Geography and Ethnic Linkages

Pakistan and Afghanistan share:

a 2,600 km border,

deep Pashtun ethnic ties,

overlapping tribal regions,

ancient trade routes along the Silk Road.

These connections created a natural cultural and commercial proximity that, at times, encouraged political imagination about a joint bloc.

1.2 Soviet Invasion and Cold War Dynamics

During the 1980s, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan destabilized the region. Some policymakers in Islamabad floated the idea of a loose political or security confederation that could:

counter Soviet influence,

manage refugee flows,

and integrate Afghan resistance groups into a regional strategic framework.

1.3 Security and Strategic Depth Arguments

Pakistan sought strategic depth against India, while Afghanistan needed economic and military support. A confederation appeared to be a win-win proposition to some strategists:

Afghanistan would gain a powerful ally,

Pakistan would gain geographical depth and influence.

1.4 Economic Interdependence

Afghanistan is landlocked and relies heavily on Pakistani ports. Pakistan benefits from Afghan transit trade and access to Central Asian markets. A political or economic confederation could theoretically:

streamline cross-border trade,

boost infrastructure projects,

enable energy corridors (TAPI pipelines, CASA-1000),

and reduce smuggling and informal trade losses.

2. Why the Confederation Never Happened

2.1 Afghan Sovereignty Sensitivities

Afghanistan has a strong historical identity and has resisted foreign dominance for centuries. A confederation was often perceived as:

a threat to Afghan sovereignty,

a disguised Pakistani attempt to influence Afghan politics.

2.2 Durand Line Dispute

The unresolved Durand Line issue, wherein Afghanistan was refusing to recognize the current border; created mistrust. A confederation without a settled border was politically unrealistic.

2.3 Pakistan–India Rivalry

Regional geopolitics complicated the idea:

Afghanistan historically had closer ties with India,

Pakistan feared being encircled by Indo-Afghan alignment, Afghanistan feared becoming a pawn in the Indo-Pak rivalry.

2.4 Political Instability

Both nations faced internal instability:

Afghanistan experienced coups, civil war, warlordism, Taliban rule, and foreign interventions.

Pakistan has navigated its own cycles of military rule, political turbulence, and ethnic tensions.

A confederation requires internal political cohesion; something neither state possessed simultaneously.

3. Was There a Real Need for It?

3.1 Shared Security Challenges

Both countries faced:

militancy,

cross-border terrorism,

drug trafficking,

illegal arms flows.

A joint governance structure might have enabled synchronized policies.

3.2 Economic Complementarity

Pakistan’s industries and ports complement Afghanistan’s natural resources and strategic location. A confederation could have unlocked:

joint rail connectivity,

integrated energy markets,

cooperative water management,

coordinated trade policy across Central and South Asia.

3.3 Regional Power Balancing

A confederation could have:

enhanced negotiating power with India,

reduced reliance on global superpowers,

allowed both nations to act as a unified bridge linking South Asia, Middle East, and Central Asia.

4. How Could Such a Confederation Have Worked?

4.1 A Confederation, not a Merger

A realistic model would resemble:

the European Union, or

the United Arab Republic (Egypt–Syria),

not a full political unification.

4.2 Step 1: Confidence-Building Measures

Before any formal structure:

Recognize the Durand Line through mutual agreement.

Establish joint security commissions.

Facilitate cross-border trade transparency.

Reduce hostile propaganda and distrust.

4.3 Step 2: Economic Integration

A confederation must first be economic:

free trade zones,

joint customs protocols,

shared infrastructure funds,

transit trade modernization.

4.4 Step 3: Defense and Security Coordination

Mutual defense and security mechanisms:

joint border monitoring,

anti-terror intelligence sharing,

coordinated counter-narcotics operations.

 4.5 Step 4: Political Framework

A confederation could be structured as:

two sovereign states,

with a joint council for economic, defense and strategic decisions,

rotating leadership,

and shared institutions (transport, energy, trade).

This model preserves sovereignty while building unity.

5. Modern Possibility: Can It Still Happen?

Today, a full confederation remains unlikely due to:

political sensitivities,

new power dynamics in post-2001 and post-2021 Afghanistan,

external influence (US, India, Russia).

However, partial confederation-like cooperation is still feasible through:

regional economic blocs,

China-led Belt and Road connectivity,

SCO-based security collaboration,

energy and trade corridors.

Ultimately, the spirit of a confederation—coordination, not merger—remains relevant.

6. Conclusion

The idea of a Pakistan–Afghanistan Confederation reflected a strategic logic rooted in geography, shared challenges, and economic interdependence. Although a formal confederation looked a far-fetched suggestion, the underlying idea still offers valuable lessons: peace, stability, and prosperity in the region require cooperation rather than rivalry.

The question is no longer whether a confederation should happen, but how both countries can adopt confederation-like frameworks to secure a stable future. In this context, the Pakistani leadership may directly pursue the proposed confederation between Afghanistan and Pakistan through several influential Pakistani figures who are held in high regard by the most powerful authority within the Afghan Taliban, Amir-ul-Mumineen Sheikh Haibatullah Akhundzada, a Noorzai Durrani Pashtun from the Tareen sub-tribe.

If Pakistan and Afghanistan succeed in establishing a joint confederation, it would be a game changer of the highest magnitude—bringing unprecedented peace, development, and prosperity to nearly 300 million people in the two brotherly nations, with far-reaching ramifications for the entire South Asian region.

Therefore, the Pakistani leadership must not be discouraged by the challenges of bringing the two brotherly nations closer. They should remember that the real failing lies not in setbacks but in setting ambitions too low. To achieve what seems impossible, one must be willing to think beyond the bounds of the imaginable.

Subject: Formation of a National Committee to Address Socioeconomic Consequences of IMF Programs and Austerity Policies which are Resulting in Increase of Poverty in Pakistan

Respected Prime Minister,

I wish to bring to your kind attention international recent research highlighting the grave social implications of economic adjustment programs associated with International Monetary Fund (IMF) lending and austerity measures.

Peer-reviewed studies, such as Goulas & Zervoyianni (2016, Social Science & Medicine) have empirically established that participation in IMF lending programs is linked with a statistically significant rise in national suicide rates, particularly among working-age men. Complementary research, including Antonakakis & Collins (2015), finds that fiscal austerity measures, often implemented under structural adjustment frameworks, lead to sustained increases in suicide mortality across affected populations.

These findings underscore the urgent need to adopt an economic policy framework that safeguards both fiscal stability and public welfare. While the support of international financial institutions can be valuable, the conditionalities attached, particularly excessive taxation, subsidy withdrawal, and spending cuts, can intensify social distress and economic stagnation if not locally contextualized.

It is deeply concerning that, due to the stringent taxation and fiscal policies dictated by lending agencies, Pakistan’s poverty levels have been rising alarmingly rather than declining. According to the World Bank’s newly revised international poverty line, Pakistan’s poverty rate has increased from 39.8% to 44.7%, meaning that nearly half of the population now lives below this threshold which is a stark indicator of the urgent need for homegrown and humane economic reforms.

In light of this evidence, it is respectfully proposed that the Federal Government constitute a high-level Committee or Commission under the Chairmanship of Dr. Ikram ul Haq, Advocate Supreme Court of Pakistan, a distinguished international taxation expert and economist. Dr. Ikram ul Haq has consistently emphasized the need to rationalize Pakistan’s taxation system, reduce unproductive and exorbitant tax rates, and broaden the revenue base through equitable, transparent, and growth-oriented reforms.

To ameliorate the back-breaking impact on the salaried class, which remains the biggest sufferer of some of the world’s highest tax rates on salary income, and to provide immediate and highly substantial relief to the unemployed and jobless population, such a reform initiative is both timely and imperative.

The proposed Committee may be tasked with:

1. Reviewing the socioeconomic effects of Pakistan’s participation in IMF programs;

2. Assessing the human and mental-health costs of prolonged austerity policies;

3. Formulating a comprehensive reform plan to revive economic activity, enhance tax compliance, and reduce dependency on external borrowing;

4. Recommending practicable policy actions to achieve sustainable, inclusive, and self-reliant economic growth directly and personally under the Prime Minister of Pakistan.

Given Pakistan’s current challenges, such a proactive and humane approach could provide the country with the jump start needed to restore public confidence, stimulate enterprise, and move decisively toward the vision of a prosperous, sovereign, and debt-free Pakistan.

I therefore humbly request your kind attention and direction for the immediate constitution of the above-mentioned Committee/Commission, and that, upon due consideration and approval of its recommendations, their implementation be authorised under the framework of Economic Emergency Regulations to ensure timely and effective execution of the proposed reforms.

With highest regards and prayers for your continued success in the service of our nation,

Yours sincerely,

Honourable Prime Minister

Islamic Republic of Pakistan

Subject: Proposal for a Flagship Governance Initiative in Baluchistan: Breaking the Chains: A Governance Model for a Corruption-Free, Terrorism-Free and People-Centered Pakistan

Your Excellency,

Your inspiring vision shared over media on 25^th October 2025, that “the development of Baluchistan is inextricably linked to the prosperity of Pakistan” has rekindled hope across the nation. Indeed, no country can rise unless it uplifts its most neglected and forgotten regions and ensures peace, justice and opportunity for all.

Baluchistan, despite its immense strategic importance and natural wealth, has long faced challenges of distance, deprivation, and fragile governance. These gaps have unfortunately provided space for instability and terrorism to take root. Yet, as your leadership has always proven, no challenge is insurmountable when met with decisive action, compassion, and a people-first development strategy.

In this spirit, I humbly seek your kind attention toward a transformative national initiative titled:

“Breaking the Chains: A Governance Model for a Corruption-Free, Terrorism-Free and People-Centered Pakistan.”

This framework, designed as a practical and action-oriented blueprint, can be launched as a pilot project under your direct supervision in selected remote districts of Baluchistan. With your personal ownership as a flagship national model, it aims to:

✅ Establish clean, transparent, and accountable governance

✅ Eliminate corruption, the root cause of injustice and public resentment

✅ Provide a terrorism-free environment through development-led peace

✅ Deliver fast-track public services to marginalized communities

✅ Generate dignified livelihood opportunities and local economic revival

✅ Restore public trust in the state through visible service delivery

✅ Strengthen internal security by addressing deprivation and alienation

✅ Create a model of governance that can be replicated nationwide

This initiative goes beyond development; it is a mission of national cohesion, human dignity, and durable peace. It embodies your long-held belief that good governance and justice are the strongest weapons against terrorism and extremism.

Complete details of the proposal are available at the following link:

(https://www.snayyar.com/breaking-the-chains-a-governance-model-for-a-corruption-free-and-people-centered-pakistan.html)

With your visionary guidance and relentless energy, this initiative can become a historic milestone, transforming the lives of forgotten Pakistanis in remote Baluchistan and paving the way for a prosperous, corruption-free and terrorism-free Pakistan.

May Almighty Allah grant you strength and success in your tireless efforts to uplift millions of deserving Pakistanis living below the poverty line.

Dear Syed Mohsin Naqvi,

السلام علیکم

I salute you for your bold and patriotic stand in the recent ACC meeting. Your categorical decision that the Asia Cup trophy and medals will only be handed over if the Indian captain himself appears before you at the ACC Chairman’s office in the UAE, was a powerful message of dignity and national pride. Such clarity and courage is exactly what Pakistan expects from its leadership.

In this context, the matter can not be left halfway. After the deliberate and false propaganda spread by the Indian media regarding a so-called apology, it is now the duty of the Indian ACC representative, Rajeev Shukla, to issue an unequivocal denial of this fabricated news. Unless such a denial is made public, the trophy and medals must remain withheld. Pakistan must not allow baseless lies to be rewarded with ceremony.

Moreover, the PCB must act immediately to protect and enhance Pakistan’s prestige on the global stage. Our women’s cricket team, currently participating in the ongoing Women’s World Cup, must be instructed to refuse any joint photographs, handshakes, or unnecessary interactions with Indian officials and players. This clear stance will send a strong message: Pakistan does not compromise on self-respect, national honour, or truth in the face of malicious propaganda.

Your leadership has already set the right tone. Now, it must be followed through with firm action until the Indian side is compelled to retract its lies and show due respect.

With the highest regards,

Pakistan Zindabad!

His writings have not only resonated with heads of state and governments but have also influenced the foreign policies of the United States and other major powers.

The upcoming Asia Cup Final against India on Sunday, 28th September 2025, is not just another cricket match. It is a battle of honor, prestige, and pride for Pakistan. At such a crucial juncture, it is imperative that every decision made by the team management reflects our highest commitment to victory and national glory.

As the great scientist Albert Einstein once said: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” For far too long, despite repeated setbacks, we have continued with the same leadership at the helm, hoping for a different outcome. With due respect to Salman Ali Agha, his leadership has not brought the clarity, inspiration, or performance that the nation expects at this level. To continue unchanged would be to risk the most important opportunity Pakistan cricket has had in years.

This is not a matter of individuals or personalities—it is a matter of Pakistan’s honor. As rightly stated by Mr. Mohsin Naqvi on 15th September 2025, “There is nothing more important than the honor and prestige of our country.” Winning tomorrow’s final against India is not only about lifting a trophy; it is about lifting the spirit of the entire nation. At such a defining moment, we cannot afford hesitation or compromise.

Therefore, with utmost respect and in the larger interest of Pakistan cricket, it is passionately urged that Salman Ali Agha be rested for the final match. Leadership must pass into the hands of a proven performer who can inspire by example—be it Shaheen Shah Afridi with his fearless aggression, Haris Rauf with his fiery determination, or Fakhar Zaman with his bold and fearless batting. Each of them embodies the fighting spirit that can ignite the team and rally the nation behind them.

Tomorrow, millions of Pakistanis will be watching with hope in their hearts. The players will fight on the ground, but the decision we make today will decide whether they fight with fire in their souls or uncertainty in their minds. Let us not allow one individual’s position to come in the way of our collective glory. Let us be bold, decisive, and courageous, just as we expect our team to be.

This is a heartfelt and urgent request to the Pakistan Cricket Board to make the necessary leadership change for the Asia Cup Final, so that Pakistan can walk onto the field united, inspired, and unstoppable. The stakes could not be higher, and the moment demands nothing less.

Pakistan Zindabad!

Mr. Mohsin Naqvi,

Pakistan has just earned immense prestige and respect through the Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement (SMDA) with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a landmark achievement that has uplifted our nation’s image globally. This historic pact, a blessing from Allah (SWT), entrusts Pakistan with the sacred responsibility of defending the Holy Cities of Makkah and Madina. With this honour, our duty has multiplied: every decision and action must now safeguard not only Pakistan’s dignity but also the respect of our esteemed partner country. As a leading regional power, our standing in the comity of nations is now firmly bound with this trust.

In painful contrast, however, our cricket team, under your chairmanship of the PCB, is repeatedly damaging that very image, particularly through its dismal and unending streak of defeats against a specific opponent. This decline is not due to the superiority of others, but the result of repeated missteps and the PCB’s reluctance to make timely and bold corrective changes. We fully acknowledge your contributions, commitment, and hard work as Chairman PCB in revamping the cricket stadiums. However, under all circumstances the buck stops at the top, and honourable leaders are those who accept responsibility with dignity.

This situation on the international stage undermines the painstaking efforts of our hardworking Prime Minister, Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif, and our courageous and visionary COAS, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir. Even more gravely, it diminishes the legacy of our martyrs, whose supreme sacrifices keep our flag flying with pride. Their sacred blood demands that every institution of Pakistan safeguard our national honour with all the resources at its disposal.

Sir, true leadership also means recognizing one’s limitations. If cricket administration is not your calling, then the most honourable course is to step aside and allow capable hands to restore our team’s performance and protect our nation’s image. We urge you to take this decision before the upcoming/remaining Asia Cup matches, as further damage to Pakistan’s dignity would be unbearable.

Pakistan has given us everything. In return, we owe it responsible action and protection of its honour. For the sake of our sacred homeland, its respected leadership, our partner nation, and above all our martyrs, we appeal to you to have mercy on our national image and make the right decision now. If need arises, we as a proud Pakistani must sacrifice without giving a second thought all our belongings including our ego at the altar for the sake of the image, reputation and dignity of our motherland.

In conclusion, the prayers of 240 million Pakistanis are with those who uphold our nation’s dignity. Do not let the sacrifices of our leaders, soldiers, and people go in vain. History remembers those who protect their country’s honour at defining moments, this is one such moment for you.

With best wishes,
