'Government is Manhoos', says PTI leader Fawad after Pakistan loses to India in Asia Cup match

Islamabad [Pakistan], August 29 : After India defeated arch-rivals Pakistan in the second match of the Asia Cup 2022 in Dubai, the former federal minister of Islamabad Chaudhry Fawad Hussain blamed Shahbaz Sharif-led country's "imported" government for losing the cricket match.
Taking to Twitter, the former Information and Broadcasting Minister of Pakistan said that loosing match in Dubai is not the team's fault but the present government is "manhoos" (unlucky).
"It's not the team's fault, the imported government is the unlucky," Fawad Hussain said in a tweet (roughly translated from Urdu).

There are several reports surfaced over the Pakistan government's negligence toward its players.
It is to be noted that during Commonwealth Games earlier this month, a Pakistani mediaperson Shiraz Hassan compared Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's style with the attitude of leaders from the neighbouring country.
"This is how India projects their athletes. Pooja Gehlot won bronze and expressed sorrow as she was unable to win the Gold medal, and PM Modi responded to her. Ever saw such message from Pakistan PM or President? Do they even know that Pakistani athletes are winning medals" Hassan had tweeted.
A gesture by PM Modi, who told a heartbroken athlete, that her Commonwealth Games bronze medal called for a celebration and not an apology earned accolades on social media as users globally lavished praise at his inspiring leadership.
