Political strife has been raging in Pakistan for the past few days. In this context, star all-rounders Muhammad Hafeez and Shahid Afridi have decided to enter politics. Both the all-rounders intend to join the political support of captain Imran Khan.
Earlier, Afridi, who has shown an interest in entering politics later in life, turned to Twitter to express his support for the current government, citing Khan’s ouster as a potential source of instability in the South Asian nation.
The 42-year-old former cricketer, who is regarded as one of the best players in the country, stated that Pakistan had been independent for 74 years.
“Let at least one elected government complete its constitutional term for God’s sake,” his post reads.
While pleading with political leaders to give the PTI government a chance, Afridi stated that correcting the ‘wrongdoings’ of the last 74 years will take time.
His remarks came as a slew of celebrities took to social media to show their support for the prime minister.
In addition, Pakistan’s great batsman Mohammad Hafeez also backed Prime Minister Imran Khan’s stance on the country’s integrity.
He took to Twitter to share his views and wrote, “With due respect, I want to clarify to all the political leaders that we r a proud nation & can’t compromise on that. I hav my differences with PM @ImranKhanPTI but on his stance of integrity of Pakistan I stand with him. #M_a_proud_Pakistani #Beggars_Cant_be_Choosers.”
