These days, one name is in the headlines in Pakistan, that is javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem, who has created history by winning gold in Paris Olympics 2024. Arshad has made a world record by throwing 92.97 meters in the final event of javelin throw. His achievement is being celebrated all over Pakistan. Nadeem is getting congratulations from all sides on his victory. However, in the meantime, Pakistan PM Shahbaz Sharif has made a big mistake, for which former cricketer Danish Kaneria has criticized him on social media.
Pakistani PM made a mistake
Actually, Sharif tweeted on his ex account and congratulated Arshad on winning the gold medal. He also announced a reward of Rs 10 lakh for Arshad. In the tweet, he shared an old photo of himself with Arshad, in which he is seen giving him a cheque of Rs 10 lakh. Kaneria called this amount insufficient for Arshad and said that this would not even meet his real needs.
The former Pakistani spinner has slammed the Pakistan PM. Kaneria has asked him to remove this photo. According to Kaneria, it is difficult to buy an airplane ticket for Rs 10 lakh. Kaneria has written to his official that you have given an amount of Rs 10 lakh. Delete his old photo. This is an insult to both Arshad and Pakistan. Nadeem has struggled a lot, which cannot be ignored. Shahbaz Sharif shared this photo while congratulating Nadeem after winning the gold. Which is from the month of May. The PM gave him this amount before leaving for Paris.
Money rained on Arshad Nadeem after he won gold
Pakistan has announced several awards and cash prizes for Arshad Nadeem after winning the gold medal. Nadeem will be paid 150 million Pakistani rupees (about 4.5 crore Indian rupees). At the same time, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz announced a reward of 100 million Pakistani rupees (Rs 3,01,63,133). Punjab Governor Sardar Salim Haider Khan has announced a reward of 20 lakh Pakistani rupees (6,03,262 Indian rupees). Many cricketers have also announced awards for Nadeem.
