DIK Young Talent Denied Fair Training at Peshawar Sports Complex: A Tale of Neglect and Unfulfilled Promises"
Saeed
Zada, a 14-year-old from Dera Ismail Khan, has recently faced unexpected
challenges while pursuing his passion for table tennis in Peshawar. Despite
hailing from the same district as several high-ranking officials—including the
Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the Governor, and two directors in the
Sports Directorate—Saeed found himself struggling to receive basic training at
the Peshawar Sports Complex.
Upon
arriving in Peshawar, Saeed secured accommodation in a private hotel due to the
unavailability of rooms and facilities at the sports complex. However, his real
struggle began when he sought training at the arena's table tennis hall.
According to Saeed, the coach dismissed him, stating he had no time for
individuals from other districts. This refusal left Saeed feeling dejected and
questioning the fairness of the training system.
"It's
cruelty towards students from Dera Ismail Khan," Saeed expressed,
highlighting the discrimination he faced.
In
response to the situation, Merged Director Sports, Razi Ullah, stated that he
would discuss the issue with the Director of Sports to address Saeed's
concerns. However, despite Razi Ullah's assurances on August 18, no action has
been taken. The young athlete continues to wait for the promised resolution,
with no signs of change in the complex's training policies.
This
delay raises serious concerns about the management and oversight of the
training sessions at the Peshawar Sports Complex. It appears that no one is
monitoring the coaches' timings or their commitment to training aspiring
athletes from different districts, particularly those like Saeed who come from
outside Peshawar.
This
incident not only underscores the struggles of young athletes from
less-privileged areas but also calls into question the accountability of those
in charge of sports development in the region.
