As Prime Minister Imran Khan is all but set to see the blue in the face of the no-confidence motion, former captain Shahid Afridi Thursday appealed that at least one elected government’s tenure must be completed.
Taking to Twitter, the flamboyant all-rounder wrote: “It has been 74 years since Pakistan’s independence. For God’s sake let at least one elected government complete its constitutional term,” tweeted Afridi.
پاکستان کے قیام کو ۷۴ سال ہوگئے ہیں ۔ خدارا کسی ایک منتخب حکومت کو تو آئینی مدت پوری کرنے دیں کیونکہ ہر عوام کی منتخب کردہ حکومت کو آئینی مدت پوری کرنے کا حق ہے ۔ ۷۴ سال کی برائیاں ختم ہوتے ہوتے ہونگی

Afridi, voicing support for Prime Minister Imran Khan's government, opined that 74 years of "wrongdoing" will take time to rectify.
The sports star's statement comes as the National Assembly is all set to vote on the no-confidence against PM Imran Khan on Sunday. The premier has vowed to play "till the last ball".
