Former Pakistan cricketer Khalid Latif decided on Friday to contest the elections from Malir's provincial seat.
Speaking exclusively with Samaa TV, the 38-year-old cricketer said, ‘’The cricketers are role models of the people. So it is mandatory for them to contribute for the sake of the people’s welfare. The situation in Malir is quite worsening, and the people are having grave concerns in this regard.’’
Malir used to be the cricketing stronghold, but right now there are no grounds in Malir.
‘’People used to perceive that the TLP is the political party that represented the Maulvis. I opted for the TLP because I wanted to see the upholding of Islamic justice,’’ Latif said.
