On the other hand, Ashfaq defended the allegations and said Haroon and his team handed over the charge peacefully. “They gave us the charge by their own. Neither we tortured them nor took the charge forcefully,” he said.
“We gave charge to previous normalization committee’s chairman Hamza Khan peacefully but this committee failed to hold elections. Congress directed us to take charge of the house and we will write a letter to FIFA about the current situation,” he added.
Ashfaq assured that they will resume football activities in the country and also conduct the free fair elections as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, ARY News received pictures of property damage at the FIFA football house. The world’s governing body FIFA is most likely to take action on this issue.
