She indirectly pointed out the ex-premier and advised the players to stay away from such politicians and not listen to them. She added, “Do not listen to anyone who incites violence. If someone tells you to attack security forces, burn property, or cause chaos, reject them. Instead, listen to those who encourage you to read, learn, and build a bright future.”

She stressed the importance of education and said that those who think and do bad to the country are not our friends. We should disclose such frauds and work for the betterment of the country. In her words, “Pakistan should be the only red line for everyone. Every action should contribute to the nation’s progress, not destruction.”
