As soon as someone emerges as a prominent philanthropist in these parts, the Pakistani public assumes that is laying down the groundwork to join politics. Recently, British-Pakistani boxer Amir Khan had to come forward and answer questions regarding whether he considering a career in politics.<\/p>\n
The story goes that Amir, who has also launched his charity the Amir Khan Foundation, was even offered a seat at the political table. However, he says that he had to turn down the offer.<\/p>\n
The sportsman is more intent on helping society through his charitable organization. Amir Khan tweeted how he doesn’t want to join politics because he’s content with current Prime Minister Imran Khan at the helm. Quite a diplomatic answer, we say!<\/p>\n
\nTalked to my advisory team, I will decline the offer to join Pakistan politics. The country is run by an amazing PM @ImranKhanPTI<\/a> and we all have trust in him. I prefer continuing my charity work @AKFoundation<\/a> in UK, Pakistan and rest of the world to make areas better and safer<\/p>\n
