Pak senator indicates recalling Younis Khan, PCB chief
Islamabad:Chairman of Pakistan's National Assembly standing committee for sports, Jamshed Dasti, today said that this impression is quite wrong that he did not know cricket as he has played this game. He said
that he did not commit any crime by calling captain Younis Khan. Dasti said that
the standing committee has been tried to be disgraced but he would not take pressure
from anybody and he would be calling again the Pakistan Cricket Board chairman
and the captain to appear before the standing committee. Talking with media here
at the Sindh Sports Board on Tuesday, he indicated that the captain and the PCB
chairman may be summoned again. He said that there is grouping in the PCB and
most of the sports federations including the cricket board have been possessed
by mafia and we have to take rid off it. Dasti said that the President has authorized
him fully to clean up sports from politics, The News reported. He said that an
amount of ten billion rupees was embezzled during the tenure of Nasim Ashraf.
Regarding the PCB and team management, Dasti said that eyes of Intikhab Alam have
become weak so how can he scrrutinise the performance of a player. However, Jamshed
Dasti could not give any satisfactory answer to the question that why not the
standing committee calls the president of the golf federation, who is the Chief
of the Army Staff or president of the squash federation, who is the Air Chief
Marshal.
