Arshad Nadeem, Pakistan’s Olympic gold medalist in javelin throw, has recently found himself at the center of a significant controversy following his historic win at the Paris 2024 Olympics. A video that has gone viral shows Nadeem meeting Muhammed Harris Dhar, a known associate of the Milli Muslim League (MML), a group linked to Hafiz Saeed, the founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba and a globally designated terrorist.
The video, which has sparked widespread outrage and debate, shows Nadeem in conversation with Dhar, who has been designated as a terrorist by the U.S. Treasury Department. This incident has cast a shadow over Nadeem’s monumental achievement of becoming the first Pakistani to win an Olympic gold medal in athletics. The timing of the meeting remains unclear, with some reports suggesting it occurred after his Olympic victory, which has only intensified the controversy.
Here is the video which was posted on X with the caption, “Pak Olympic gold medalist Arshad Nadeem seen openly with UN Designated Lashkar terrorist in Pakistan”
