Arshad Nadeem should also not be cheated in the name of......
This Pakistani Olympic medalist has been waiting for 35 years to get a plot, Arshad Nadeem may also be cheated
Former Pakistani boxer Syed Hussain Shah made a big revelation that he has not yet received the prize for the medal he won in the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Now there is a fear that the same fate may befall Arshad Nadeem. The government has made many promises to him as well.

The Pakistan government makes big claims but unfortunately they are hollow. A former Olympic medalist from Pakistan has exposed such claims of the Pakistan government. We are talking about former Pakistani boxer Syed Hussain Shah, who had punched the bronze medal in the 1988 Seoul Olympics. After that punch for the medal, the then government of Pakistan had made a bigger promise to him. But, that promise has not been fulfilled till date. Now the fear is that Arshad Nadeem is also getting cheated in the name of the promise.
Arshad won gold in Paris Olympics
Arshad Nadeem won the gold medal in the men's javelin throw event at the Paris Olympics with a new record. This is the first medal Pakistan has received in a single event in the Olympics after boxer Syed Hussain Shah's bronze medal. That is, Arshad has not only brought the first gold for Pakistan from the athletics field of the Olympics. But with this medal, he has also ended Pakistan's wait of 36 years in any single event and 32 years overall.
There were many promises of prizes and awards, but will they be fulfilled?
Arshad Nadeem's success was so great that the government started announcing the rewards for him even before he reached Pakistan. These rewards included money, awards, property and everything else. It has been announced that he will be awarded Pakistan's second-highest civilian honour. It has also been said that the money he will receive as reward will be tax-free. But will this happen? Will the current government of Pakistan do so much for Arshad Nadeem? Or will he also get betrayal like Syed Hussain Shah?
Pakistani boxer has been waiting for a plot for 35 years
When Syed Hussain Shah returned from the 1988 Seoul Olympics with a bronze medal, the then government of Pakistan had promised him a plot for a house. But, even after 35 years of the promise, he has not received that plot till date. Pakistan's Olympic medalist boxer is still waiting for the plot he got in return for his historic victory.
Will Arshad Nadeem also have to wait like this? It is difficult to say right now. But, with the passage of time, the answer to this big question will definitely be found.
