Star cricketer Shahid Afridi on Friday spoke out about ongoing politics of character assassination in the country, urging media to refrain from giving coverage to people indulging in mudslinging against each other.
“It is incumbent on all of us to protect the sanctity and honour of Pakistan. We have become a laughing stock across the world,” Afridi said in a series of tweets.
He said politics in Pakistan has become a tool for character assassination of each other.
“We need to exercise restraint and think about our future generations,” he added.
Afridi’s remarks came in the backdrop of Ayesha Gulalai’s allegations of sexual harassment against Imran Khan and his spokesman Naeem-ul-Haq.
پاکستان میں سیاست صرف ایک دوسرے کی عزت اچھالنا ہے؟ ہم سب کو خود کو سنبھالنا ہوگا ہمیں آنے والی نسلوں کا سوچنا ہے 1/2

میڈیا سے میری درخواست ہے کے اپنا اصل کردار نبھاے ملک اور ایک دوسرے پر کیچڑ اچھالنے والوں کو کوریج نا دے

You are absolutely right young man, indeed the world is laughing in amazement; when you have thieves and scoundrels in politics, what is happening is quite normal and natural to their ways, their nature and their character..
