Summary:
Except the announcement of holding a national tournament in the name of Shahid, other announcements, including naming of a stadium in his name have been fulfilled. However, Parveen stuck to her demands saying she felt betrayed.“In 2016, Goel promised to begin a national championship in Shahid’s name. As for her other demands, letters have been sent to departments concerned,” Singh told TOI. Shahid had also not accepted a job in the sports department or railways for the love of the city. Similarly, Shahid’s contemporary Jafar Iqbal and Dhanraj Pillay promised to open a hockey academy in Varanasi in his name, but no work has been done to date..
