Embattled Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan Niazi has been accused by his former teammate and fast bowler, Sarfraz Nawaz, of smoking cannabis and doing cocaine during his playing days.
Sarfaraz Nawaz was one of the best fast bowlers in the world of the time. He said, “He (Imran Khan) has been consuming cannabis, he used to do it in London and even at my home. In 1987, when Pakistan faced England in a cricket match and he did not bowl well, he had come to my house along with Mudassar, Mohsin Khan, Abdul Qadir, Salim Malik in Islamabad for a meal. There he had consumed charas. He also snorts something and consumes cocaine as well. In London, he would roll something and snort it,”.
During the interview, the anchor asks Nawaz if he had seen Imran Khan Niazi do drugs, the former cricketer says “Bring him in front of me and let’s see if he denies it. I am not the lone eyewitness, there are many others in London,”.
In the last few years, Khan has portrayed himself as an ideal Muslim who lives by the tenant of Islam.
Imran Khan, whose political carrier is hanging by a thread right now was accused of mismanagement by Javed Miandad. Miandad accused Imran Khan of ruining Pakistan cricket by favouring foreigners over countrymen for several key positions in the Pakistan Cricket Board.
“All officials in the PCB do not know the ABC of the sport. I will talk to Imran Khan personally about the sad state of affairs. I will not leave anyone that is not right for our country,” Miandad said on his official YouTube channel.
“You appointed a foreigner on a key position. What will happen when he flees the country after doing corruption? Is there a shortage of people in your own country that you had to bring people from abroad to work in the PCB,” Miandad had added.
