Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has given a Rs5 million cheque to Shahzeb Rind’s father to honor Shahzeb’s efforts in making Pakistan proud on the global stage.
Shahzeb, who is a well-known MMA fighter, has gained recognition for representing Pakistan in international fights and for recently defeating an Indian opponent, which brought him even more praise at home.
The government’s move came after Shahzeb spoke out about delays in receiving the promised support. He had openly shared his frustration, which drew attention from the public and media. After the backlash, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif quickly took notice and made sure the issue was resolved without further delay.
Information Minister Attaullah Tarar also stepped in to clear things up. He said the delay was due to some miscommunication and apologized to Shahzeb and his family on behalf of the government. The minister assured everyone that the government fully supports Shahzeb and other athletes who work hard to raise Pakistan’s name around the world.
Shahzeb Rind’s journey in MMA has inspired many young Pakistanis who look up to him as a role model. His dedication and success show how talented Pakistan’s youth can be when given the right support and recognition.
With this financial reward, the government hopes to encourage Shahzeb to continue his winning streak and keep lifting Pakistan’s flag high in the world of mixed martial arts. His story proves that Pakistan’s athletes can shine on any platform if they get the backing they deserve.
