Cold hearted
Pakistan PM pays no heed to Mansoor's pleas

Mansoor Ahmed had no money for his treatment. He has been advised to travel abroad due to the lack of medical facilities in Pakistan. The Pakistani Hockey Federation has already paid Rupees 1 million for Ahmed's medical bills. He also appealed to the Prime Minister of Pakistan to come to his rescue but his pleas went unanswered.
