Internet Desk: India’s legendary hockey player Dhanraj Pillay today requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to provide some help for the treatment of former hockey captain Mohammad Shahid. He is suffering from liver and kidney problem.
Shahid was admitted to Medanta Medicity Hospital in Gurgaon as he was down with some dangerous disease like jaundice and dengue. He was airlifted from Varanasi in the evening on Tuesday.
“Shahid bhai is a legend, an icon, someone who made India proud internationally. Indian hockey was known across the world because of players like him. As a person and as a player, he lifted the Tricolour high with pride in being an Indian,” Pillay said in a statement.
“It is pity that today not even a single senior political leader has bothered to even inquire about his condition even though he has been in the Intensive Care Unit for two days now,” the former captain added.
“I appeal to our honourable Prime Minister, sports minister, all sports associations and everyone else to please take note of the Shahid bhai’s condition and provide all help possible. We are also trying to mobilise all support,” he further stated.
