Why we mix sports and politics?
'Make Asif Ali the PM so that he destroys the country more than Imran Khan', Murtaza Solangi's remarks stir up debate on social media
Asif Ali is everywhere just now because he led Pakistan for the second straight game of T20 World Cup 2021 against Afghanistan last night at Dubai International Stadium.
The fans and cricket fraternity have been showering praise for Asif and even his critics have also started admiring him.
Unfortunately some people try to mix up things. A good performance by Asif Ali is being politicised.
At the time when cricket fans are showering praise on Asif Ali around the world, journalist and former director general Radio Pakistan Murtaza Solangi wrote on his Twitter account: “Make Asif Ali the prime minister so that he destroys the country more than Imran Khan.”
آصف علی کو وزیراعظم بناؤ تاکہ عمران خان کے بعد ملک کا ستیاناس اور سوا ستیاناس ہونے میں کوئی کسر رہ گئی ہو تو وہ پورا کر دے۔ https://t.co/kJV6WZ8Si1

He added that Asif Ali would fill the gap of destruction if left any after Imran Khan.
The journalist’s irresponsible remark had attracted criticism from all circles.
Last night, Asif Ali emerged as the hero for Pakistan for the second straight game of T20 World Cup 2021.

Pakistan were needed 24 off 12 balls chasing 148 runs target when Asif Ali hit four sixes in the penultimate over emerging as the hero for the country for the second straight game of T20 world Cup.
He hit two of the first three balls of the 19th over bowled by Afghanistan’s Karim Janat for sixes before depositing the final two balls into the stands as well, killing the run chase highhandedly and prematurely.
Asif finished with 25 off just seven balls with four sixes and a single, leaving Janat and all the other Afghan players frustrated.
