Got a copy of Akhbar e Watan’s February 1982 “Imran Number”. It is really a FIND. Will share some rare pictures later on

From “Imran ke Naam” section. Where would be this Shabana Andaleeb Sheena from Rawalpindi? I wish I could trace her & listen to her views & memories of Imran Khan.

This is Muhammad Saleem from Walton Lahore. Regarding Imran Khan, in 1982 he was passing through a condition similar to mine in 2019: ‘Mere Alfaaz Main Ta’seer Kahan - Keh Teri Zaat se Ta’beer Karun’

Naheed Ghazal - Felicitations! - How Mubarik was your “dua”, it is still protecting Imran Khan with its hallowed sphere.

“Rakhshanda & Sami” - The One Who Hears (سمیع) heard your du’aa - 39 years down the road, Look how brightly glows (رخشندہ) Imran’s name.

“But let me tell you one thing, don’t be too straightforward because due to your blunt truthfulness you are ‘disliked’ by your ‘team’ and this nation” - An advice by Darakhshan Kazmi & Mazhar Kamal Kazmi (Do I need to say anything?)

“How much do we expect from you! Only you would take wickets, then, only you would score runs and then you won’t even drop catches! Not even a six million dollar man would take on such a gigantic task since it has almost become a tradition which only you can break.. (contd.)

Please make your comrades understand that Cricket is a game requiring ‘collective’ responsibility. The desired results will be achieved only when we join hands and make a concerted collective effort” (A letter from a 1982 Insafian)
