@iRashidLatif68 According to @ForeignOfficePk and ISI, Dawood is not in Pakistan. Now this man says that David is his neighbor, if you are so brave, why is he hiding in Pakistan? Who should be trusted? Pakistanis are a bunch of pathological liars.

@iRashidLatif68 He himself is a terrorist and his brother Dawood is also a terrorist.

No amount of education can change this misguided societal mindset. Bragging about being a terrorist and a gangster is all they can offer. Cut off all ties and let’s stop talking about this failed country and society even at our dinner table. We need to get ahead of this toxicity.

However, it is not Latif but former Pakistani cricketer Javid Miandad who is closely related to mafia superstar Dawood. Miandod’s son Junaid Miandod married the daughter of Ibrahim Mahrukh in 2006. There are also widespread reports that Dawood is hiding in Pakistan.

It is worth mentioning that the criminal Dawood Ibrahim is one of the most wanted terrorists in India and according to reports, he lives in Karachi. For years, Pakistan has consistently denied the claim of providing sanctuary to Dawood, who is accused of masterminding the 1993 Mumbai serial attacks.
Hundreds of Indians lost their lives in these devastating attacks. Despite repeated requests from India to hand over Dawood, Pakistan has denied all claims. And now Latif’s open acceptance will certainly make things worse for Pakistan, at least in terms of hosting the 2025 Champions Trophy.
Fusion Formula has been agreed by BCCI and PCB for ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
