Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

Reading your article helped me a lot and I agree with you. But I still have some doubts, can you clarify for me? I’ll keep an eye out for your answers. https://accounts.binance.com/cs/register-person?ref=OMM3XK51
Instead of Natinal Stadium Karachi , Lahore Qazafi Stadium should be renamed as Bob Woolmer Stadium
But why? Did he win the world cup for us. We had an abysmal defeat by Ireland under Bob Woolmer’s coaching lead. Did Pakistanis kill him that they are trying to make him into a national hero? Is this a national guilt consensus.
As if there are not enough Karachite, who have done good for the city, we have to name National Stadium after a failed coach. I propose Muhammad Haneef stadium.
This is ridiculous, I thought it was a joke.
Pakistan and Pakistanies MUST honor him by at least naming the Karachi’s National Stadium to Woolmer Stadium. Not just that he did his best for Pakistan cricket BUT he proved people wrong by staying and working in Pakistan for a long time. At a time when Pakistanis are running away from here…he stayed – isn’t this enough proof of his selflessness and dedication.
