December 20, 2020 If Pakistan fails to make any progress towards hosting the South Asian Games then the Games may be shifted to Sri Lanka Pakistan has to organise the 14th South Asian Games by the end of next year. But so far nothing concrete has been done in that direction. The government does not seem to take the matter seriously. Despite insistence from the Pakistan Olympic Association (POA), the IPC Ministry seems to have shown no grave interest in the biggest event of the region. One year before the start of the Games, around 70 percent of work should have been completed. It’s not a joke. I don’t know why the state is sleeping. It is related to the prestige of the country. The IPC ministry should take the matter seriously. During a meeting with the POA officials on the matter, the IPC minister indicated that the ministry is going to put up a summary to the Prime Minister and after taking the PM’s formal nod preparation will be started. But so far nothing concrete has emerged.
