Noora kushti
Noora kushti (pronounced noor-ah kush-tee) is a word of Persian (Farsi, Iranian) origin that generally means "fixed fight" or pretending to fight (while fooling a target audience). In Persian (Iranian) sporting matches and games it is the literal act of pretending to fight in order to fool an audience.
More importantly it is used in Persian/Iranian (and to some extent Pakistani) politics to indicate two (or more) parties that appear to oppose one another, while the reality is the two parties are pretending to oppose one another. Only the two parties participating in the act know that their opposition to one another is just an act that is meant to deceive a target audience. Therefore it could be understand as pretend opposition. This is usually done in order to control both (or all) audiences/populations. It is a form of political monopolization.
