Jakhrani refuses to act against PHF officials
ISLAMABAD: Federal Sports Minister Ejaz Jakhrani has said that national team had showed a satisfactory performance before the Hockey World Cup.
Speaking on a point of order in the National Assembly, he said that office bearers of the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) were elected; therefore, action could not be initiated against them.
However, Jakhrani said that investigation was underway about team’s dismal performance in the mega event.
It may be reminded Pakistan finished last in the 12-nation tournament played in India.
He said some 710 athletes had participated in different domestic and international sports events during the last two years at the cost of Rs6.55 million.
