PESHAWAR
- The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister's Information Adviser, Mushtaq Ghani, delivered
a disavowal after reports dispersed on local media that West Indies cricketer
Darren Sammy had been offered an honorary Pakistani citizenship by Pervaiz
Khattak.
"Tthe
Federal government possesses this power and the chief minister cannot offer an honorary
citizenship," said Ghani. Mushtaq Ghani emphasized that the chief minister
cannot make such an offer and that it had been made by a fake account mimicking
Khattak on social networking site Twitter.
After
an explosive Pakistan Super League spell with Peshawar Zalmi and leading West
Indies to their second World T20 title, the Caribbean captain, Darren Sammy was
briefly thought to have achieved yet another landmark after he was allegedly
offered an honorary citizenship of Pakistan.
Sammy
took the offer in pace. He took twitter to thank Khattak wholeheartedly and
said he accepted the offer in Pashto. With a 140 runs and 4 wickets under his
belt in his ten matches for the Peshawar Zalmi, Sammy also won many hearts,
especially from the people of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
