Pakistan's javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem of Paris Olympics 2024 did a surprising feat. He threw 92.97 meters in the javelin throw final. This astonishing throw ended Pakistan's 32-year medal drought in the Olympics. Pakistan had earlier won the bronze medal in hockey at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. After Arshad Nadeem's historic victory, Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif shared a picture congratulating him and he started getting trolled heavily. In this picture, Shahbaz Sharif is seen giving him 10 lakh Pakistani rupees (about 3 lakh Indian rupees).

Pakistani PM's embarrassment

The Prime Minister of Pakistan would not have even thought that he would be so embarrassed.

Pakistani fans criticized his post on social media and accused him of stealing credit. They say that Shahbaz Sharif should be ashamed of sharing such a picture. Let us tell you that this picture is of May 2024. Arshad Nadeem is currently in Paris. That is, before going to the Olympics, he was given only Rs 3 lakh. However, after winning the gold medal in Paris, the Sindh government of Pakistan has announced an award for him.

Bravo Arshad
History was made!

Shame on you! Shame on you! Shame on you for showing the world that you once gave him a million rupees for his outstanding achievement in which the govt had no contribution whatsoever. This is an insult to Arshad and to the nation. You are pathetically stupid and selfish! Shame

Arshad will get 1.5 crore rupees

The central government of Pakistan may not have paid attention to Arshad Nadeem and gave him only a small support of 3 lakhs. However, after defeating Neeraj and winning the gold medal, now the state government of Sindh has announced a reward of 5 crore Pakistani rupees (about 1.5 crore Indian rupees) for him.

Arshad Nadeem achieved many achievements

Arshad Nadeem not only ended Pakistan's wait in Paris.

He also achieved many achievements by winning the gold medal. He broke the 16-year-old Olympic record with a throw of 92.97 meters. He also became the first player to win a gold medal in an individual event for Pakistan. Arshad also broke the Asian record. Before him, only Taiwan's Chao Tsun Cheng had made a throw of 91.36 meters. He made this record in October 1993. Now, 31 years later, Arshad Nadeem has also taken his record in his name. Let us tell you that Pakistan had won the gold medal in the Olympics before this in 1984.
