These guys are the real heroes. With no support by government or anyone else they manage to win medals for us at such grand scale. Even media doesn't care about such achievement while they keep discussing a lone t20 match for hours.

We thought we are the only one in South Asia.

Ali Haider has also won a silver medal back in Beijing paralympics 2008. He also won a Gold and a Bronze medal in Guangzhou Asian paralympics.

And the champ is getting no coverage from media. No channel is discussing this despite the fact this is Pakistan's only second medal in Paralympics in so many years while same TV channels keep on discussing a lone T20 match for hours despite the fact that nobody cares about it in the world.

I feel for him bro, chalo, Allah and the people who care know, that's all that matters. Let the others fawn over cricket. Shame on the TV channels as well.

It is the same in India. Apart from news channels praising our medals winner and reporting on which state is given them the biggest cash gifts. There is no actual coverage of the games

I feel sad for the poor folks, disgusting media. I'd throw a home coming for both country's athletes, to show that we care.

Chalo, shukar hua. Sports are a culture and they are important. It is very saddening to see our nation been kept away from such healthy activities. The first medal, congrats
