Irfan Mehsood, a renowned athlete from South Waziristan, has returned a prize cheque worth Rs.0.5 million to the KP Sports Department. Mehsood has gained massive popularity in Pakistan for his exceptional performance in martial arts and fitness. He has broken 100 Guinness World Records, making him a national hero.
“If you can’t help us, don’t disrespect us”
Irfan Mehsood was dissatisfied with the way the sports department had treated him. He took to social media to explain his side of the story. According to him, the officials were disrespectful towards him. The issue arose when Mehsood requested equipment for his club.
Instead of helping him, the sports department started bargaining with him, offering him only Rs.0.2 million which was way less than what he required. Mehsood felt insulted by this and stated, “If you can’t respect us, don’t insult us.”
