Javed Saab, please explain yourself
Political analyst Javed Chaudhry isn’t alien to putting his foot in his own mouth. The somewhat haughty talk show host is prone to making rather brash statements and is dubbed the somewhat mellow Aamir Liaquat. The analyst took to Express news channel to discuss some pressing matters, as per the norm, but might have been feeling a little too perverse, what with his odd analogy…
At one point thought it incredibly necessary to take out a few minutes to talk about Ahmad Shahzad’s antics after Pakistan won the ICC Champions Trophy…and somehow linked it into Panama
…Something we honestly don’t understand. Javed suggested that Ahmad’s ‘smartness’ during his little tirade of antics that surfaced post-match, like him seizing the trophy at the win, or his attempt at a selfie at the Prime Minister’s Secretariat that earned him tremendous backlash – is the exact kind of ‘smartness’ that existed in the supreme court.

This tweet was noticed by a rightly confused cricketer Ahmad Shahzad, who questioned the particular genre of Javed jee’s little rant
Is this the comedy section of the show?!! Hilarious ?
Tho I 100% disagree sir..sports n politics shld have no connection #PakistanZindabad https://t.co/mhVW2Mk4OH

Other cricketers, like Hasan Ali and Imad Wasim, chipped in and agreed that keeping cricket and politics as the separate entities that they are is sensible
I agree with you Ahmad bhai. Politics should be kept out of cricket. Keep supporting sports in Pakistan #PakistanZindabad
— Hasan Ali (@RealHa55an) July 20, 2017
Imad was slightly more irked than Hassan, and advocated that analysts ‘do’ their ‘respective jobs’
Stop crossing the limits and do ur respective jobs #keep support cricket # Pakistan zindabad
— Imad Wasim (@simadwasim) July 20, 2017
Ahmad responded to fellow compatriots with a hearty few words of inspiration
Ameen brother..as sportsmen v need to keep guiding them..v will get there slowly but surely..InshAllah #PakistanZindabad

Others labeled this a poor attempt at earning a few extra rupees
They are not earning money through their respective jobs so they are trying to earn some paisa through this..

Some were upset at the thought that our champions in green weren’t getting the respect they had rightfully earned
Cant believe it kay kisi ko repect dena itna mushkil kaam hai apney heroes ki respect karna kab seekheingy ye log??

A few were livid and were quick to come to the defense of their hero
These 3rd class journalists just use your name to get RATINGS as we all know how much fame and fan following AHMAD SHAHZAD has ??

Words of disappointment for Javed Chaudry’s mockery of Ahmad Shahzad angered many
Pathetic… Javed Sahab..
