Will eat grass but will raise budget of Pakistan Army, says Akhtar

TIL Desk Sports/ Former Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhtar once again has spoken about things outside of cricket and this time he had something to say about the budget of the Pakistan Army.

He feels that the annual budget of the armed forces should be increased significantly and for that civilians like him are even ready to make the necessary sacrifices.

Akhtar also urged the chief of armed forces to work together with the civilians. “If Allah ever gives me the authority, I will eat grass myself but I will increase the budget of the army,” Akhtar said in an interview.

“I will ask my army chief to sit with me and make decisions. If the budget is 20 per cent, I will make it 60 per cent. If we insult each other, the loss is ours only,” he added.
