Problem

[shaukat mahmood]

Please explain the extract in simple English,especially focusing on the expressions in inverted commas.

When any public authority is in the wrong, it should be challenged and "held to account." The Pakistanis' mini-strike was a minimum response to a rank injustice, and a far better example to young people "than genuflection to the cult of the umpire."

Thanks.
