"پنجاب اسمبلی کا یہ معزز ایوان حکومت سے اس امر کی سفارش کرتا ہے کہ عالمی سطح پر سپورٹس انفراسٹرکچر کی بہتری کے لئے اقدامات اُٹھانے کی ضرورت ہے جیسا کہ پاکستان ہاکی جو کہ ہمارا قومی کھیل ہے پاکستان ماضی میں ہاکی کا مرد میدان رہا پاکستان نے پہلا اولمپک گولڈ میڈل جیت کر ہاکی کو قومی کھیل کا درجہ دیا گیا اور انڈیا کی 32 سالہ برتری کا خاتمہ کر کے ہاکی کی دُنیا میں فتوحات کی نئی راہ بنائی جو کہ تاریخ کا سنگ میل ثابت ہوئی لیکن اب ہمیں پروفیشنلز کی زیرسرپرستی گلی محلوں میں موجود باصلاحیت کھلاڑیوں کو بھی اس کھیل میں آگے آنے کا موقع فراہم کرنا چاہئے اور ان کی بہتر انداز میں تربیت کرنی چاہئے تاکہ مستقبل میں یہ کھلاڑی ملک کا نام روشن کریں جیسا کہ آج نیشنل ہاکی ڈے کے طور پر منایا جا رہا ہے اس کے حوالے سے حکومت ہاکی کے کھیل کی طرف توجہ دے اور ہنگامی بنیادوں سے اقدام اُٹھائے تاکہ ہاکی کے کھیل کو مکمل ڈوبنے سے بچا سکیں اور اس کھیل میں کھویا ہوا مقام حاصل کر سکیں۔"
