Olympian Arshad Nadeem has once again won the hearts of millions of Pakistanis and has proved he is a true champion and advocate by requesting the government to give his villagers their basic rights.
Nadeem, in an interview, requests the government for just 3 simple things, gas, electricity, and a University for women. In the interview clip, Arshad Nadeem shares that to receive an education, his sisters (women) in the village have to travel for hours, some even to another city to pursue a career.
My village needs roads. If the government provides cooking gas, it would be great for me and my village. I also have a dream that Mian Channu city gets a university so that our sisters won’t have to travel to Multan, which is 1.5 to 2 hours away, to study. If the government makes a university here it would be great news for my village and the neighbouring ones, – Arshad Nadeem

The 27-year-old hails from a village called Mian Channu and when he got back, he got a hero’s welcome. He had made his family, his village, and his country proud on the big stage. He deserved to be treated like the champion that he was.
Overnight, Nadeem became a national hero when he won gold in the javelin throw event at the Paris Olympics. Arshad won Pakistan’s first individual gold at the games, first gold since 1984, third individual medal, first individual medal since 1988, first medal since 1992, and 11th medal overall.
Arshad’s Olympic record throw of 92.97m was enough to seal the deal. Even Tokyo gold medallist Neeraj Chopra could not breach it and managed 89.45m to settle for silver.
Kudos to Nadeem! We are extremely proud of him and his achievements. Pakistan Zindabad!
