It’s an honour to be Dawood’s relative: Javed Miandad

Former Pakistani cricketer Javed Miandad has openly said it is an honour for him to be a relative of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.

Miandad’s son, Junaid has been married to the underworld don’s daughter Mahrukh since 2005.

During an interview in Pakistan Miandad confessed to having known Dawood for a significant period and talked about his first meeting in Dubai.

“It’s an honour for me that his daughter is married to my son,” Miandad expressed, shedding light on the familial connection between the two.

Miandad went on to praise Dawood saying, “The things Dawood has done for the Muslim community will be written in golden words.” The underworld don is wanted for the Mumbai blasts of 1993, where around 250 people were killed in a series of bombings that rocked the city and changed it forever.
