Former Olympian Samiullah Khan has said he and his companions still believe that Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) elections as a result of which the incumbent PHF set-up came into existence are illegal and unconstitutional and thus he won’t join the PHF.
While talking to Dawn, Samiullah also known as ‘flying horse’ in the hockey world, said that he congratulates Shahnaz Sheikh, Islahuddin Siddiqui, Shahbaz Senior and others on joining the PHF set-up but quickly added: “They (Shahnaz, Islahuddin and Shahbaz Senior) left me and my companions midway through our campaign we started together against the PHF elections but we will stand our ground.”
“I will still demand fresh PHF elections and whosoever succeeds should be given right to run the PHF,” said the former Olympian.
