00:00Hockey is our national game, but we have made it so that when our hockey players go to participate in the international tournament, they take tickets on loan.
00:10Yes, this is absolutely true. According to the BBC news, for the Asian Champions Trophy 2024, the Pakistan hockey team is leaving for China on loan tickets.
00:20Pakistan Hockey Federation President Tariq Hussain Bukhti confirmed to the BBC that the Pakistan hockey team has left for China on loan with the Chinese airline.
00:30The President of the Pakistan Hockey Federation said that when we told the government, we got a strong response from the President of Hawaii.
00:35However, there was a hindrance from the bureaucracy that things could not be done on time.
00:39He said that according to the schedule, when it was time for the players to leave, two days before that it was said that sorry, you arrange the players from your side,
00:47then we will give you the money in 10 to 15 days. According to the President of the Hockey Federation, this is not the first time, but it is the old trick of the Pakistan Sports Board.
00:55The President of the Hockey Federation also claims that the Indian government is spending Rs. 3 billion on its hockey and its ranking has come from 5th to 6th,
01:03while the Pakistan hockey team has succeeded in coming from 17th to 15th in the last 5 months.
01:08On the other hand, the office of the Pakistan Sports Board told the BBC that as soon as the proceedings are completed on the case to send the team to the Champions Trophy, they will be rewarded.
01:21President of the Pakistan Hockey Federation Tariq Hussain Bukhti is present with us on the line. Thank you very much, Mr. Bukhti.
01:26Is it true that you had to take tickets on loan to participate in this tournament?
01:31This is absolutely true. We had to go. Our camp is also being set up here.
01:38The Pakistan Sports Board also knew that our team had to go to China for the Asian Championship.
01:47At that time, we did not get the money. We got the money from the credit certificate and we sent the team to participate.
01:55Is this the first time or has this happened before?
01:59This has happened before. Although the Prime Minister of Pakistan is also interested in promoting this game, it is a national game.
02:09But these tactics are being done by the Pakistan Sports Board. I don't understand why.
02:15They should have promoted the Pakistan Sports Board, but there are some obstacles from their side.
02:21Mr. Bukhti, what is the procedure? Is the allocation of the budget done a little earlier?
02:26Are the files signed at the last minute? Because if it is known that this tournament is going to take place, then funds are given on the basis of future forecasting.
02:34Unfortunately, this is happening every time with hockey.
02:38Although they know that they have to participate, but we are not given payments on time.
02:44We have to take things from the credit first and then they say that they are ready to make a payment.
02:50You have to make a payment after 2-4 months.
02:53How long did it take you to get the money after you took the tickets on loan last time?
02:59It took me about 4 months by visiting the IPC and the Sports Board.
03:07I had told people for a month, but I was successful after 4 months.
03:12I returned people's loans.
03:14You also said that the President of Pakistan has given you a good response from the President's House.
03:20The bureaucracy has put obstacles.
03:23Yes, I have no relationship with the government.
03:27Can you tell us specifically where exactly the obstacles came from so that we can point out so that these obstacles do not come again?
03:33What I have understood so far is that it has come from the Pakistan Sports Board.
03:39Otherwise, you know that the Prime Minister of Pakistan has removed the Departmental Sports.
03:47But it is still implemented.
03:49Some delay practice is done there.
03:52How much difference is there in the funds between India and Pakistan?
03:58India is currently in 6th position in the world ranking.
04:03We are in 13th position.
04:05On the 14th, our match is going to be with India.
04:09You can imagine, but our players are in good form and playing well.
04:15I am happy with my players.
04:18I am not happy with the sports board and what they are doing with us.
04:22When funds are not allocated, you must be under pressure psychologically.
04:26What is the reason for that?
04:28When my daughter went to Poland, I had a lot of payments.
04:35Rana Mashood and Rana Prime Minister of Pakistan gave me payments.
04:40She had just reached Poland.
04:42I had already given their dailies to the boys.
04:45This increases the morale of the players.
04:48Our dailies have come, we have to perform well.
04:51I don't have money now.
04:54When the kids are playing there, they are asking me this question.
04:58When will our dailies come in our accounts?
05:01Until I don't get the payments, it will affect my fares.
05:07Mr. Mukti, I am summarizing this segment.
05:11Who would you like to talk to to release these payments?
05:16Let me tell you one more thing.
05:19We have just gone for a game.
05:22Now we have to go for the Asian Cup.
05:25We have to go for the Junior Asian Championship.
05:29We have to go after about a month.
05:31This is what we have to go through.
05:33I am 100% sure of what the people are doing.
05:37I feel with the Government of Pakistan, Prime Minister, Mr. Shahbaz,
05:43that we have to see these things ourselves.
05:46So that we can win the tournament.
05:50Thank you very much.
05:52Mr. Tariq Hussain Mukti was with us.
05:54He is the President of the Pakistan Hockey Federation.
05:57The strange thing is that the bills are not cleared for several months.
06:01The players come to the tournament with their own money.
06:05In comparison, India is investing billions.
06:08In Pakistan, the players are taking their own tickets.
06:11There is psychological pressure.
06:13Will they get the money or not?
06:15When will they get it?
06:16We expect that their performance will be very good.
06:19I hope the people who think that Pakistan has a vision for sports,
06:24they must be listening.
06:26When Arshad Nadeem was successful, everyone came to take credit for it.
06:29But before that, the area of struggle, the time of struggle,
06:32the time of struggle, how the players are worried,
06:35you saw a glimpse of the situation of the hockey team's funds.
06:39The program is over.
06:40Don't forget to give your feedback.
