“I was offered a position in PTI in 2013 which I refused" - Jawad Ahmed
KARACHI (Dunya News) – Singer-turned politician and Barabri Party Pakistan Chairman Jawad Ahmad and popular actor Shaan Shahid got themselves involved in a political debate on social media after the former criticized Prime Minister Imran Khan and the latter responded to him.
Jawad Ahmad took to Twitter and wrote, “Imran Khan is shrewd & shallow. Even now, he is playing politics on Sindh Govt. Corona Tigers is more important to him than people’s lives. To protect his politics, he is taking no hard decisions including convincing & stopping clergy. He’d be responsible for Pakistan’s devastation.”
Shaan Shahid replied, “Shukar hai corrupt nahee hain … or jab corrupt log power mai thay to aap kahaan thay? (Thank God, he isn’t corrupt. And where were you when corrupt politicians were in power?)”, “It’s ok to do politics but not by putting down others ..our PM is fighting struggling from inner threats support him or tell us what you can do for our nation. How can you help Pakistan rise ..Politics is not about who is better but who can make the country better,” he continued.
The singer-turned politician posted a video afterwards stating, “Usually, I don’t respond to such comments and I really respect everyone from the showbiz industry, but the questions he raised require me to answer him. “When he asked me where I was when there was corruption, so I was exactly where you were. I was singing, doing music direction, making films, I was in the industry. “I was offered a position in PTI in 2013 which I refused. In 2018, I contested in elections. I am a part of the said politics, therefore I can critique. Imran Khan is the prime minister, I have a right to criticize him.”
