At one end, in the name of security of PM, sports journalists, dignitaries and others were barred from taking mobile phones, water bottles or any other stuff with them inside the Liaqat Gymnasium, while on the other hand, PSB employees were given free hand to take their uninvited guests with them with full protocol, they were free to take mobile phones with them, while other eatables and water bottles were provided to them without any disturbance, PSB Media Director, Muhamamd Azam Dar despite several requests not only decline to lend helping hand but also refuse to help sports journalists, he flatly refused to provide drinking water and refuse to help sports journalists in helping them enter the venue, he not only used highly objectionable language but also threatened of dire consequences, it is highly interesting to mention that the said gentlemen doesn146t have any valid degree and despite number of inquires conducted against him and it was proven that he had fake degrees, he is still enjoying all the limelight, as he is known to be the yes man of every coming DG.
It was also sad to witness that highly professional sports journalists Shakir Abbasi and Zubair Ali Khan were stopped at the entrance by PM security staff, despite showing valid accreditation cards, arriving well before the time at the venue, Azam Dar refuse to help, when this scribe contracted Director General Pakistan Sports Board Dr Akhtar Nawaz Ganejra and informed him about the entire issue, Ganjera not only apologised, but also came forward and take stranded sports journalists inside the venue, he promised to conduct inquiry and bring the culprit to task, I am highly grateful to my sports journalists community, as they are all my eyes and ears, they made this event a huge success, I regret what happened to senior sports journalists and former RISJA secretary Shakir Abbasi and personally seek forgiveness, on Ganjera146s assurances, RISJA newly elected secretary Nasir Abbas Naqvi announced to postponed given strike call till January 2, in case, action not taken against Dar and others, we reserve the right to announce next course of action, while sharing his views Raja Mohsin Ijaz, former presidential candidate termed it is a deliberate attempt from few certain individuals to spoil excellent working relations between RISJA and PSB< he hoped Ganjera is a man of words and he will provide justice to those, who always stand shoulder-to-shoulder with PSB and provided excessive converge to every event, he warned in case the issue was neglected, we not only meet with IPC Minister but also go to any extent and hoped such incidents will never repeat again.A
