Former PCB Chief Says Pakistan Is Internationally Isolated, Praises India’s Global Standing

Former Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Nazam Sethi has made striking comments on the deteriorating condition of Pakistan, stating that the country is in no position to stand before India in the current scenario. His remarks have gained significance against the backdrop of rising tensions between the two nations.

Sethi made these statements during a live broadcast on a Pakistani television channel, expressing deep concern over the prevailing state of Pakistan. Referring to recent developments, he pointed to the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, followed by Operation Sindoor, and the attempted attacks on several Indian cities on the night of May 9, which were thwarted effectively by the Indian armed forces. These incidents, he said, have escalated tensions between India and Pakistan to a critical level.

“Our country has become very weak. We are in a dangerous phase. Our internal conditions are also dire. The economy has collapsed. Even the United States is refusing to support us. Our relations with Iran and Afghanistan have deteriorated,” Nazam Sethi stated.

When the program’s anchor interjected, pointing out that India too is grappling with internal challenges and its relations with Bangladesh have strained, Nazam Sethi dismissed the comparison outright.

“Compared to India, Bangladesh is a very small country. Internationally, India continues to enjoy significant recognition. Unfortunately, we do not. At this moment, all foreign investments are flowing into India. The entire Arab world is standing with India. Countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE have signed multi-billion-dollar investment deals with India. India is not isolated in any way, but Pakistan has become isolated,” Sethi said.
