The proposal was met with unanimous approval from the members present, who showed their support for Mr. Majid Bashir through a show of hands. This indicates a vote of confidence in Mr. Bashir’s ability to lead the ITA effectively.

Mr. Majid Bashir, upon being elected as the new President, expressed his sincere gratitude to the members for their unanimous support. He pledged to dedicate himself to the advancement of tennis in the Capital Territory of Islamabad. Furthermore, he emphasized his commitment to fostering harmony and

amicable relations between the affiliated units of the Islamabad Tennis Association and the Pakistan Tennis Federation. Mr. Bashir aims to work towards the development and enhancement of the game of tennis, ensuring its growth and prosperity within the region.
