KP Hockey Association: exercises Constitutional Authority, moves action against Par-Groups
Peshawar: Syed Zahir Shah, President, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
Hockey Association, said with unequivocal emphasis that nobody is above the
law, and his association has taken the constitution quite seriously. PHF and KP
Hockey Association are constitutionally tied up with the Asian Hockey
Federation and International Hockey Federation.
Speaking to journalists in Peshawar, Syed Zahir Shah
expressed regret over the atmosphere of chaos created by certain elements that
sought to create parallel associations at the provincial and district level. He
said those attempts had now failed, and the Pakistan Hockey Federation has
asked all of its associations to take strict action against those who indulged
in those parallel groups and hoped to be able to solve this issue once for all.
He further grieved over the humiliation being caused by
having two hockey federations in the country and explained that these people
filed legal cases in Islamabad, Lahore, and Peshawar High Courts, which were
all dismissed. The Pakistan Hockey Federation has already suspended four
people, while other provinces, including Punjab, have been ordered to do the
same.
Syed Zahir Shah said that these groups have caused immense
damage to hockey by splitting the districts and chaos, but he said hockey is
now picking its pace back and decisive action must be taken. He directed all
districts to give the names of those involved so that the KP Hockey Association
could go about necessary measures.
On the issue of amnesty, he said that this is a procedure
which the law attends to and which he also had to go through when he was
suspended.
