Take a bow Arshad Nadeem… the whole Pakistan is celebrating your silver medal … worth more than a gold … in World Athletics Championship. Why I said it’s worth more than a gold is that you don’t get the top level facilities other athletes get, but you still excelled. So… pic.twitter.com/sG6ZA9alNw

Arshad Nadeem has written this success story himself by his sheer hardwork without strong backing.
People like Arshad remind us and the system time and again that if we invest where it is needed, then there is no one stopping us.
Arshad is a league of his own. Time to give… pic.twitter.com/CFrC0XLCRd

Awesome.
But we do not bow before anyone but Allah.
What kind of brain dead heading is this!?
Writer are supposed to think 10x before publishing a single word
He bowed down to God in the pictures but the writer wants other people to bow down to him. Wah je wah.
Janab Imad, please consider that in our culture and religion we do not bow down to people. We bow down to the one who created people and everything.
