If the PSB did so, the move could be termed interference by the PSB in PHF affairs which could lead to the International Hockey Federation (FIH) suspending Pakistan\u2019s membership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LAHORE The ongoing gulf between the Pakistan Hockey Federation and the Pakistan Sports Board over holding fresh elections of the federation has increased further as it seems PHF president retired Brig Khalid Sajjad Khokhar has decided to conduct the elections himself instead of giving this role to the committee already appointed by the PSB.
