Former Skipper Shahid Afridi hints at joining politics? reacts over JUI - F Chief Islamabad lockdown

KARACHI: Former Skipper Shahid Afridi hints at joining politics while reacting over JUI - F Chief Islamabad lockdown.

Shahid Afridi says he has often thought of joining politics but at present the time is not right to do so.

Speaking to the reporters on Thursday, Afridi shared his thoughts about Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s 'Azadi March' scheduled to take place in Islamabad later this month.

The former captain said he is not in favour of the Maulana’s protest and thinks “it is too early” to take out a march against the incumbent government. link link

“I think there is no need for any *dharna*. The government should be given some time,” he said.

The flambouyant all-rounder was of the view that Prime Minister Imran Khan needs support from both the opposition parties and the people of the country to resolve ongoing issues facing Pakistan.

He said the significance of lending support to the government further intensifies given the fact that Pakistan has been surrounded by its enemies.
