 ISLAMABAD: National Assembly’s standing committee for sports has called the chairman and the chief operation officer of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), coach and manager of the national cricket team for disappointing performance of Pakistan against Australia.
The committee has also imposed fine of Rs100,000 on hockey player Rehan Butt while the coach and the manager of the team have been fined for Rs50,000 each for the objectionable pictures’ publication in media.
The committee members at a meeting, presided over by its chairman Jamshed Dasti, expressed severe anger over the publication of the national hockey team players’ objectionable pictures.
Jamshed Dasti has directed to impose fine of Rs100,000 on Rehan Butt and Rs50,000 each on the coach and the manager.
The committee through a unanimous resolution has recommended to sack chairman PCB Ijaz Butt.
The members of the committee said that Butt is not capable of running the cricket board and he should immediately be removed.
Secretary Establishment Division Ismail Qureshi told the committee that the Punjab government has been asked to explain regarding making any operation against high-level police officers for their negligence in security of the Sri Lankan cricket team.
After the Punjab government sends the case against the concerned police officers then the operation will be made after getting an approval from the prime minister. |  |
