WE are disgusted beyond measure by seeing and hearing so much humbug and trash about Moin Khan’s visit to a casino. What is wrong with it?

Had he not, like any other person, any right to go there in his spare time? It seems our inexperienced television channels have made a mountain out of a molehill.

I am afraid such footage is spoiling the morality and taste of the nation which is being led to believe that scandal mongering is all there is to life.

We are not living under a Cromwellian theocratic dictatorship. If a few misguided gentlemen are that virtuous that does not mean there would not be cake and ale in the world.

I am equally surprised on the magnanimity shown by the cricket board in ‘pardoning’ Moin Khan. What crime, either in the penal or moral code, had he committed which has been pardoned?

It is evident that Shaharyar Khan has either played to the gallery or else shown a poor sense of judgment by recalling Moin Khan home in the midst of World Cup matches.
