Amir Khan expressed a desire to join politics
Amir Khan recently expressed his desire to join politics with a firm belief that his contributions will be beneficial for the country.
He also mentioned that he will work towards improving the state of country.
In a Facebook post Amir shared that he was offered this type of opportunity multiple times; throughout the course of his career.
whereas Amir didn’t mention any names; whether who offered him the opportunity or not.
“I have been asked numerous times if I would join politics in Pakistan. Being a sports man and being an ambassador for the country, I’m honoured to asked if I would take part in politics, in fact I would love to help the country,” the boxing champion stated.
He mentioned sports, education and child labour as areas of interest which he would work to improve.
“We will all leave this world one day, but whilst we still around we all should do our bit.”
“I’ve sat with many politicians and army generals agreeing and disagreeing on topics in the country. My heart is clean and I would want the best for Pakistan. Lets see how things play out. My old stable mate world champion boxer Manny Pacquiao also joined politics,” Khan added.
However saying he has been closely observing the work Manny Pacquiao has done in Philippines, the middleweight title holder was sure he could do the same for Pakistan.
“It will be a massive decision to make, I one day might consider this,” he said, asking his followers for their opinion as well.
Amir took back his own statement!
But two days later, Amir took to Twitter to announce that he had declined his own offer.
Talked to my advisory team, I will decline the offer to join Pakistan politics. The country is run by an amazing PM @ImranKhanPTI and we all have trust in him. I prefer continuing my charity work @AKFoundation in UK, Pakistan and rest of the world to make areas better and safer
