Thank you @ImranKhanPTI for your kind words about @SifanHassan and presenting this great athlete as a role model for all youth #InternationalYouthDay #TokyoOlympics2020.
میں چاہتا ہوں کہ ہمارے پاکستانی نوجوان یہ دوڑ دیکھیں اور اس میں سے وہ اہم ترین سبق حاصل کریں جو کھیل نے مجھے سکھایا ہے کہ: "آپ ہارتے تبھی ہیں جب آپ کوشش ترک کردیتے ہیں"۔.
