He said my target was to achieve half century of world records in coming years as Kung Fu and Martial Arts was my passion since childhood and I would leave no stone unturned to hold new records.

He said Pakistan is the land of talent where I had had trained more than 500 students during the past few years who won 10 Guinness World records for Pakistan.
Highlighting the lack of facilities in sports, he urged the Federal Government to spare sizeable amount for Martial Arts in “Kamyab Jawan Sports Drive” which was the flagship program of incumbent Government for the revival of sports in Pakistan.
