Widely considered as Pakistan's greatest batsman of all time, and the ICON, Javed Miandad started his career in the year '75. This legendary career would span over 21 years and 6 world cups, winning one in '92.
Often regarded as Pakistan's greatest offbreak bowler, Saqlain Mushtaq quite literally took the cricketing world by storm. It is no surprise that Saqlain, the inventor of Doosra, holds the record of having the most international wickets after playing 75 matches with 146 wickets.

On the eve of #75thIndependenceDay : I want to address fellow citizens: I know I'm inconsequential. I also know that I'm the ultimate source of power. The power of my Corporator, the MLA, the Chief Minister, the Prime Minister, the CJ of my High Court, the CJI ...
All of them assume power from me. They're there to 'serve' me & you.

How would they serve 'us' ??

Well.....

Not at their whims & fancies.

Not at their biases.

Not at their ideological preferences.

All of them are there to serve 'us' - in accordance with the Constitution.
They are enjoying their power, their perks, their luxuries - at 'our' cost.

We slog, we work hard, we live & we pay taxes. The taxes pay for their upkeep. They're there cause 'WE' put them there. They draw their legitimacy from 'us'.

'We' aren't 'subjects' - 'WE' are Masters.
