Shahryar Khan Afridi in New York Vlogging, September 2021 | youtube screenshot

Form of words:

nNew York is illuminated this week because of the United Nations General Assembly. There will be world leaders who will give speeches at the United Nations and then there will be others who want to enter Afghanistan for the first time as the new rulers – Taliban. But what stands out, really, is Shahryar Khan Afridi, the first-time visitor from Pakistan to the United States. We’ll tell you why.

As chairman of Pakistan’s Parliamentary Committee on Kashmir, Shahryar Afridi was sent by Prime Minister Imran Khan to the UNGA to inform the world what was going on in Jammu and Kashmir. The idea of ​​his trip is reportedly “lifting”. Awareness“

However, during the awareness journey, Shahryar Afridi lost his awareness. wearing Levi’s T-shirt she decided to be vlogger and lecture the mighty United States. Walking around Times Square, recording homeless people on the sidewalk, and commenting live on the women passing by, he insisted that Pakistanis should be grateful for everything they got. “Look at the condition of women in the country who lecture others on human rights. Women in Pakistan are living in better conditions than in countries that pretend to be champions of human rights,” Afridi tells us from New York. Meanwhile, Pakistani women continue to fight the endemicity of violent sex crimes. As Afridi patronized, . family of Noor The trial, which was beheaded in Islamabad, is seeking justice, and another woman Karachi Her brother raped her for two years who took her hostage in an apartment.

Afridi devoid of any diplomatic etiquette nine minutes A typical example of lecture style is: MHey Pakistani, where are you?heyswoon se bohheyyou’re better off (Pakistanis, the way you are living is much better than others), so don’t ask for more. Afridi praised Imran Khan for launching the langar scheme in Pakistan after he found the first homeless man in Time Square. The question though is, if you want to drive home the performance of your prime minister, why go so far? Make a video in any Pakistani city and upload it to your YouTube channel and save exchequer money. So, if CNN thinks US President Joe Biden hasn’t called PM Khan, then a punishmentSo, wandering unnecessarily in Manhattan, Shahryar Afridi is our PM’s punishment for America.

Now we await the ferry ride to Afridi’s Statue of Liberty, from where he will probably tell us that Liberty is also a “Kom’s daughter“Who stands by itself – look at the rotting values. Where is the West going? He must have asked.

Shahryar Afridi was briefly detained at JFK airport on his arrival in the US secondary Screening. But that wouldn’t stop the rumors short of Afridi being strip-searched at JFK, to which he replied that it was done by “propaganda”.Indian lobby“Because he was in America for the great cause of Kashmir. Afridi himself happily This propaganda was first carried forward on the table of the National Assembly of Pakistan when a distorted image Former PM Shahid Khaqan was being searched at a US airport after taking off Abbasi’s clothes. Afridi then said, the law of any law is supreme. Now the shoe was on the other foot, and the Chairman, Kashmir Committee was not overly excited.

Therefore, these awareness journeys always bring the best lessons in parallel history: 2019PM Khan felt he won the 1992 World Cup after UNGA and found his supporters, but rather gave birth to ‘Senator Tony Booker’, to silence all critics among other life-changing lessons for us .

‘I have given my life to Allah‘

Afridi earned the title of ‘in his previous visit as Minister of Narcotics Control.I know Allah to Denise Is’. He used to respond to repeated requests for evidence in a high-profile narcotics case against a political rival Rana Sanaullah. There was a time when Afridi declared Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed as Pakistan Property And that wasn’tmai ka lal’ (mother’s son) who could harm him as long as Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) was in the National Assembly.

Another time, Afridi got emotional on General Qamar Javed Bajwa’s detail and announced on TV that the army chief was “as he was”.Our FatherTo which the news anchor said that the change of army chief is given every six years, but a father cannot be changed like this. Afridi’s heart knew what others do not get. When Afridi was there, we too not found awarded with Ministry of SAFRON (States and Frontiers), which did not exist. But in Naya Pakistan these things happen all the time. How else do you explain to Afridi that PM Khan had detailed talks with Iranian President Akbar Hashmi in 2019 rafsanjani Who died in 2017? Look, PM can talk to the dead.

He was in Afridi’s many victories to sign His name and his vote on the ballot in the Senate election were rejected. He even got the Prime Minister dressed for it. In his application for re-voting, Afridi told the presiding officer that he was unwell and could not attend party meetings to prepare for the elections. but to no avail. Nevertheless, as chairman of the Kashmir Committee, he is on an important mission to make the world aware of Pakistan’s Kashmir cause, for which Imran Khan has criticized Maulana Fazlur Rehman several times. Failure To serve as the former chairman of the committee. As a vlogger, Afridi’s focus remains on Biden’s domestic issues, we anticipate, if nothing else, a call from the Oval Office at the end of his already successful US tour.
