In a significant move towards upholding transparency and fairness, the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) has taken a decisive action by suspending officials linked to the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF). This step aims to ensure impartial and just elections, in alignment with directives from the nation’s Prime Minister. The suspension order has been invoked with the primary aim of conducting a transparent and unbiased electoral process, particularly after a comprehensive assessment of clubs across the country.
A significant development emerged when the Prime Minister’s office recently issued a formal notification to the Ministry for Inter-Provincial Coordination (IPC), prompting them to refer the PHF matter to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA). The Pakistan Sports Board was entrusted with the responsibility of facilitating a transparent and neutral electoral process for the federation, adhering to the Prime Minister’s instructions.
Authorities reveal that during a series of consecutive meetings held on Tuesday, the PSB engaged with the existing PHF officials, presenting various options to foster equitable elections. Despite granting a 24-hour request for progress, substantial advancements were not witnessed. As a result, the PSB is resolute in implementing the suspension of office-bearers within the hockey federation. This move is aimed at promoting unbiased scrutiny during this transitional phase and ensuring a level playing field for all stakeholders involved.
The suspension of officials is seen as a proactive measure to pave the way for a fair and transparent election process within the Pakistan Hockey Federation. The PSB’s commitment to ensuring an impartial approach underscores its dedication to the principles of transparency, fairness, and accountability in sports governance. As the process unfolds, stakeholders are keenly observing the developments, anticipating a transformation in the landscape of hockey administration in Pakistan.
