Olympic Champion Arshad Nadeem Faces Controversy for Alleged Meeting with Terrorist Leader

Paris Olympics gold medalist from Pakistan, Arshad Nadeem has come into the limelight. Nadeem was seen meeting the leaders of a terrorist organization. Arshad was praised all over the world after doing wonders in Paris. In India too, Arshad was praised for making an Olympic record and winning the gold medal, but now Nadeem has come into the limelight after meeting the leaders of the terrorist organization.

In the video going viral on social media, Arshad Nadeem was seen talking to a person declared a terrorist by the United States.

According to a report published in News 18, the person Arshad is talking to in the video is Mohammad Harris Dhar. According to sources in the Indian security grid, Harris Dhar is the joint secretary of the Milli Muslim League (MML), the political front of the banned terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba.

Some people on social media are claiming that Arshad's meeting with the leaders of the terrorist organization was after he returned from the Paris Olympics after winning the gold medal. However, the timing of the meeting is yet to be revealed.

The Milli Muslim League is an organization formed by Hafiz Saeed. Hafiz Saeed is said to be the mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai attacks, in which 166 people lost their lives.

In 2018, the US Treasury Department specifically designated 7 global terrorists. This list includes MML President Saifullah Khalid, Muzammil Iqbal Sashimi, Mohammad Harris Dhar, Tabish Qayyum, Fayaz Ahmed, Faisal Nadeem and Muhammad Ehsan. They were suspected of working on behalf of Lashkar-e-Taiba.

MML was formed in 2017 by Hafiz Saeed. It was said that MML would contest the elections, but following US sanctions it was never registered as a political party.
