Pakistan’s javelin star Arshad Nadeem, who won gold at Paris 2024 by defeating India’s Neeraj Chopra, has accused Pakistani authorities of failing to honor their prize commitments. Nadeem revealed that while he received some cash rewards, the promised land plots and housing benefits were never delivered, calling the announcements “fake promises.” He emphasized that despite bringing glory to Pakistan, he relied mostly on public support rather than government backing. Nadeem is currently recovering from an injury in England and preparing for upcoming international events, including the Diamond League and World Championships. (PC: NDTV)
