Karachi: The former captain of the national hockey team, Maya Nazlift, former Olympian Samiullah Khan, has said that the Pakistan Hockey fleet has sunk due to the wrong policies of the Pakistan Hockey Federation, the interference of the PHF in the work of an elected body of the Karachi Hockey Association, and others. Bringing the faction to the fore and making decisions of your choice is an attempt to take hockey towards destruction.

Samit has done good work in the development of hockey promotion by conducting several hockey tournaments which may be seen by PHF but what is the reason why PHF President Khalid Sajjad Khokhar and Secretary Shahbaz Sr. also came to KHA. He praised him for his hockey activities, what happened now that people of his choice are being brought to Karachi illegally. What do you want to prove by electing him? Such a decision is equivalent to taking out the funeral of the country's hockey. Samiullah said that there is no justice in our sports.

The rich are outside and the lovers and favorites are inside the teams and federations. The future of hockey is getting bleak without real people coming. PHF's efforts to improve hockey are nowhere to be seen, the performance Pakistan had shown in the Commonwealth Games, now they have to play two major events, but there is no plan for their preparations. Samiullah said that sportsman himself has a big role in the destruction of sports.

We are concerned about our own interest. National sports have been drowned. Our fellow Olympians in sports have not played any positive role for the betterment of hockey. The battle for power against each other has brought Pakistan hockey to this point today. World sports have gone far ahead of us, but we are busy catching each other's legs, there is no seriousness for sports in the country, the president and the prime minister of the country have no interest in the improvement of the country's sports, they are only interested in the success of an event. The President's House and the Prime Minister's House Blocker make themselves a bad responsibility by giving five, one million and 25 lakh medals. In Olympics, Asian Games and Champions Trophy, gold medal has now become a dream. are above and we have to resist them hard to succeed.
