On The Eve Of The Kargil War, I Quit My Contract Worth دو 2.5 Million, Shoaib Akhtar

Revealing the relationship with India and the war, Rawalpindi Express Shoaib Akhtar said that at the time of the Kargil incident, he had turned down a دو 1.5 million contract in county cricket.

Answering the innocent questions of host Wasim Badami in an ARY News program, Shoaib Akhtar said that no one should be jealous of my patriotism. Very few people know that during the Kargil War, An even more expensive deal was struck in 2002 with Nottinghamshire, both of which were abandoned because of the war in the country.

Shoaib Akhtar, the world's fastest bowler, added: "I was standing on the border of Lahore. A general in the Pakistan Army asked me what are you doing here. I said there is going to be a war. You see, I left the county twice to go to war against India.

its good to have such comments these days when majority are deliberately speaking against military (atleast in media and politics) so that they may get a "plot" in US, UK or dubae. the military people or their supporters may get a plot in dha but those who are against military get plots abroad.

How about we build an economy first, I’m not overly fond of eating grass. If you’re so keen, pls give up your wealth and pay FBR, eat as much grass as you need. It’s easy for a rich guy like him to demand the poor eat grass for the sake of bloating the budget.

Your proceeds however are probably best spent on poverty alleviation projects, or even small infrastructure. These provide greater return for the economy, they are usually associated with a much higher economic multiplier than something like armed forces budget. This sort of mindset is needed in the long run. When we’re all doing better, government can tax us more and the army can have the funds it needs too.

Tl;dr: it’s easy for a rich guy to demand the poor eat grass for the army budget, instead they should pay their taxes and get those revenues spent in the right areas. Then we all benefit, including the army.

The difference being you dont have existential threat like israel nor the people of pakistan(and india too)have honesty or integrity like israelis to rise from the ashes....
Shoaib Akhtars words will have any value if he first donates all his money to PA and then make statements like these...
This shoaib fellow seems to be a number one hypicrite..when he was commentating for indiian sports channels he used to sing songs of peace..
Now that he is no more wanted by those channels he started telling tales of patriotism...
