KARACHI – Imaan Z Hazari, daughter of the Minister of Human Rights in Pakistan, Shireen Mazari is unapologetically is blunt and pretty bold in nature. Imaan Hazari is known for saying what’s in her heart without shying away from anything and that is what often keeps her in the news.
Recently, Imaan has responded bluntly to the tweet of Governor of Sindh about Cricket legend Shahid Afridi and it is making headlines all over the country. This time, its Imaan Mazari’s comment on cricketing legend Shahid Afridi that has made headlines all over.
Imaan Mazari had re-tweeted Imran Ismail’s picture where he shared space with Shahid Afridi and Squash champion Jahangir Khan and referred to both of them as legends and had straightened denied by the Governor remarks for former ace cricketer Shahid Afridi.
Here is the post by Governor of Sindh:

Now, let’s have a look at Imaan’s response to Imran Ismail’s post:
“Shahid Afridi isn’t a legend. He’s an open & proud misogynist, who didn’t have the decency to say one kind word abt our women’s cricket team (instead of saying that Pakistani women cook really well when asked a question abt the women’s cricket team). Re-evaluate & re-orient please,” wrote Imaan.

Imaan most probably gave these comments referring to an interview of Shahid Afridi where he had shared his thoughts about women cricket in Peshawar, said that “our women have great taste in their hand when they cook.” Upon questioning by the interviewer about what he meant, Afridi said that he had given his answer that women could only make good food.
Most people didn’t like harsh comments by Imaan for the national cricket star and they were quick in responding to her:

UK’s Country Director for Shahid Afridi Foundation, Saima Khan also schooled Imaan for making baseless claims without even knowing the person. She shared her personal experience with Shahid Afridi, terming him very supportive and encouraging.
