Ali Zafar yesterday criticized PTI chief Imran Khan for tweeting remarks of condemnation and targeting his opponents on corruption cases at a time when the country was abuzz with the festivity of the first match of Pakistan Super League in Lahore. Ali Zafar responded Imran Khan’s tweet with a request to check the timing of his tweet when the country was witnessing history.
Imran Khan in his tweet lashed out at his opponent ousted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and former Federal Finance Minister Ishaq Dar for the rising external debt. Ali Zafar said being a cricketing personality himself Imran Khan must appreciate the comeback of cricket in Pakistan.
Zafar said Imran Khan’s followers expected him to recognize the effort of Pakistan Cricket Board and Punjab government for conducting a peaceful cricket match in Pakistan. Singer Shehzad Roy supported Ali Zafar’s stance as well.
Sir, we do love you for your efforts for the country but perhaps “timing” on issues matters? On a day nation celebrates cricket we do expect you (as our cricket hero) to appreciate, if not participate in the joy and sentiment of the country that comes with cricket coming home 🙂 https://t.co/7RGDkVb4VU
