The newly elected President Bilal Khan and Secretary Mian Sadaqat Shah said that the victories of our province’s players in badminton are exemplary and we will provide more facilities to our children so that they can raise the green and red flag of Pakistan at the international level as well.
They said that for the first time, a strong team has got the opportunity and we will try to leave the past behind and work with hard work, dedication and courage to take badminton to a higher place and give other districts of the province the same position that is being given to Peshawar and Swat.
