Sindh's sports minister, Sardar Muhammad Bux Khan Mahar, has challenged Punjab's sports minister to do 50 push-ups.

While talking to the media today, the 28-year-old said, "I challenge the sports minister of Punjab to do 50 push-ups, and I'll do the same. I am a sportsman myself. The players of Sindh aren't in the spotlight and this is what I aim to change -- Even if I have to fight with the federal government."

And then he did 50 push-ups in less than 40 seconds:

Speaking to a news channel, PMLN leader Talal Chaudhry said he was ready to take on the challenge, however he added that it 's not befitting for elected representatives to indulge in personal challenges who should instead promote public competitions.

Meanwhile, State Minister for Water and Power Abid Sher Ali challenged the sports minister to “lift more than 100 kilograms of weight”, News One reported.

Mr.Pushups. | 8 years ago | Reply Why has not Pakistan won any medal since the last 4 Olympic games, that is the question, people should ask. A nation of 180 million with sports ministers and not a single meddle. What is the purpose.

Haji Atiya | 8 years ago | Reply @FMK: He's on Mr 10%'s payroll; that's his "credentials" !

FMK | 8 years ago | Reply who made him the sports minister? what are his credentials?

John Doe | 8 years ago | Reply Why do we have a sports minister anyway?

Taxzu | 8 years ago | Reply The intellect of matric Pass minister is also poor just like his education. This is proof that money can buy you material things but wisdom and intelligence cannot be bought.

Shaggie | 8 years ago | Reply HEheh those are sh arnt pushups at all

Imran | 8 years ago | Reply If those are push-ups I can do a hundred and I'm overweight. Keep it classy Mr. Minister. Also let us all know when you actually achieve something tangible in the sports arena instead of on youtube. I would love to see Pakistan as a whole make headway in international sports and progress only starts from the grassroots level provincially.

AHS | 8 years ago | Reply this guy is more interested in personal show off ness than anything else !look at the way he dresses ! he is a dandy ! cheers

BrainBro | 8 years ago | Reply Those aren't proper push ups mate.

Mehreen | 8 years ago | Reply Sweety, that's a quarter push-up by a noob with the worst ever form. so much for the hype regarding his knowledge on sports

SNKN | 8 years ago | Reply I think the Minister should challenge his own intellect instead and come up with a viable and doable plan to raise the sporting standards in Sindh which can then be emulated in other provinces... On a personal level Mahar should give a serious try to act in films ... he will gain nothing out of winning the challenge against pot bellied Punjab minister

Bilal | 8 years ago | Reply Those ARENT pushups - These are sissy ups
