Saraswati Club has raised serious concerns regarding the suspension of player Dhirendra Bahadur Shahi, claiming he was unjustly penalized without fault. The club held a press conference on Monday, accusing authorities of mistreatment.
Alleged Unfair Suspension of Dhirendra Bahadur Shahi
Saraswati Club alleges that despite Dhirendra Bahadur Shahi scoring in two consecutive matches, he was unjustly suspended based on a protest filed by the New Basti Club, referencing an outdated agreement. This protest, according to the club, was the basis for the suspension of Shah by the All Nepal Football Association (ANFA). The suspension has reportedly affected Shah’s mental health and performance.
Mental and Emotional Impact
The club president, Uttam Ram Bhandari, voiced concerns about the emotional toll the suspension has taken on Dhirendra Bahadur Shahi, who has been unable to play due to the alleged mistake. Bhandari emphasized that Dhirendra was not at fault and has faced injustice due to the suspension. The player’s opportunity to contribute to the team was denied, leading the club to step forward and bring attention to the issue.
Call for Justice
Saraswati Club Club is calling for a review of the case, urging the authorities to reinstate Dhirendra Bahadur Shahi and allow him to play again. The club is determined to ensure that justice is served for the player who has been wrongfully punished.
