Sindh sports minister does 50 push-ups, challenges Punjab counterpart

Sindh’s Sports Minister Sardar Muhammad Bux Khan Mahar has challenged Punjab’s sports minister to do 50 push-ups.

While talking to the media on Monday, the 28-year-old said, “I challenge the sports minister of Punjab to do 50 push-ups, and I’ll do the same. I am a sportsman myself. The players of Sindh aren’t in the spotlight and this is what I aim to change — Even if I have to fight with the federal government.”

And then he did 50 push-ups in less than 40 seconds in a video he posted on social media.

Speaking to a news channel, PML-N leader Talal Chaudhry said he was ready to take on the challenge, however he added that it’s not befitting for elected representatives to indulge in personal challenges who should instead promote public competitions.

Meanwhile, State Minister for Water and Power Abid Sher Ali challenged the sports minister to “lift more than 100 kilogrammes of weight, do yoga for 40 minutes and then a 350 rep leg press”, another news channel reported.
