Fundraiser For IDPs Presided By Younus Kahan and Shahid Afiridi In UK
BIRMINGHAM: Pakistan cricket captain Younus Khan has said the people can play key role in seeking solution of the problems faced by a country.
Younus was addressing a press conference organized by a charity Islamic Relief.
Younus along with team colleague Shahid Afridi hosted a fundraiser under Islamic Relief for the victims of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the Swat and Malakand region.
“No government can resolve the problems of a country all alone, so the people should play their role,” Younus said.
Shahid Afridi talking on the occasion said health and education are two major problems in Swat and Malakand region, and called the civil society to play its role in seeking solution of these problems.
