Responding to the challenge, PML-N leader Talal Chaudhry said that indulging in personal challenges did not suit elected representatives who should instead be promoting public competitions.

Speaking to Geo News Talal Chaudhry deflected the personal fitness challenge to instead tallying which province had more sports facilities and to see which province was promoting sports more than the other.
