Social media has been buzzing with surprising claims that Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain, Pakistan’s former Prime Minister, has been appointed as Chairman of the Pakistan Bodybuilding Federation. But the federation has now set the record straight: the reports are false.
Officials, including President Tariq Hassan and Secretary Sohail Anwar, clarified that the federation does not even have a “chairman” position in its structure. While Chaudhry Shujaat recently met with the bodybuilding delegation, he has not accepted any official role.
🇵🇰 What Really Happened
During the meeting, the federation briefed Chaudhry Shujaat on their latest achievements, including a remarkable five gold medals at an international bodybuilding competition. They also shared the financial challenges faced by the sport in Pakistan.
In response, Chaudhry Shujaat:
-
Congratulated the athletes on their victories.
-
Expressed his moral support for bodybuilding in Pakistan.
-
Invited the medal winners to a celebratory dinner to honor their achievements.
✅ The Reality Check
The Pakistan Bodybuilding Federation emphasized that while they deeply value Chaudhry Shujaat’s support, it should not be mistaken for an official appointment. His role remains that of a well-wisher and patron of sports, consistent with his long history of encouraging athletes.
With the rumors dispelled, the spotlight rightly shifts back to Pakistan’s bodybuilding champions, whose success continues to bring international recognition and pride to the nation.
