Arshad Nadeem made entire nation proud: Azma Bokhari

Lahore: Information Minister Punjab Azma Bokhari said that the month of August brings a message of joy for the Pakistani nation, but the happiness and joy that Arshad Nadeem has brought to the nation on this Independence Day are beyond words.

Certainly, Arshad Nadeem’s victory has made our Independence Day more glorious. Many people win with the help of their entire team and start considering themselves national heroes and champions.

However, a so-called champion who has led the country into trouble has been lifted by the nation. On the other hand, Arshad Nadeem from Mian Channu fought alone and made the entire nation proud. It is unfortunate that whenever this nation unites or experiences happiness, it seems to trigger discomfort in certain disruptive and anarchist groups. They constantly seek out disturbances and mischief that spoil the joy.

She said that it is a fact that the Youth Festival was initiated by Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif, but it was shut down by a so-called athlete.

 Many talented players, including Arshad Nadeem, emerged from the Youth Festivals, which greatly benefited Pakistan. The Information Minister said that when Arshad Nadeem returns to the country, he will be given a grand welcome. Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif has announced a reward of 10 crore rupees for Olympic javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem.

Arshad Nadeem will also be honored with Pakistan’s highest civilian award. She also mentioned that it is a pleasure for her that Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has announced the establishment of a sports city in Mian Channu, which will be finalized with Arshad Nadeem’s consultation.
