I have previously conversed with the PTF president in such manner and would think further during my visit in Pakistan for the Davis Cup tie.” Anil denied his administration’s association in tennis matters.

That is separated from the sum we contribute on sports through neighborhood supports. Our PM generally calls decoration victors at global Games and supports them on their prosperity.”
