**Interview with Ahsan Ramzan, World Snooker Champion**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Ahsan. You’ve recently been in the news due to an incident at your snooker club in Green Town, Lahore. Can you tell us what happened?
**Ahsan Ramzan:** Thank you for having me. It was a very unfortunate situation. Around midnight, the police from the Green Town station arrived at my snooker club and confronted me about keeping the club open, despite a government order stating it should be closed. They were quite aggressive and abusive.
**Editor:** That sounds intense. You have been running this club for eight years. What is the purpose of keeping it open at that hour?
**Ahsan Ramzan:** Exactly. I’ve maintained this club as a place for both recreational play and coaching for the past eight years. Right now, I’m preparing for the National Championship, and I practice at night because it’s cooler and more conducive to my training.
**Editor:** When the police cited orders from the SHO to close your club, how did you respond?
**Ahsan Ramzan:** I asked to speak with the SHO directly. Unfortunately, when I arrived at the police station, I was poorly treated. It was disheartening to see such behavior towards someone who is simply trying to pursue their passion.
**Editor:** Did you receive any support from local officials regarding this incident?
**Ahsan Ramzan:** Yes, after the incident gained some attention, the Chief Minister of Punjab, Mohsin Naqvi, took notice. It’s important to have support in such cases, especially when the authorities overstep their boundaries.
**Editor:** What message do you want to send to your fellow snooker players and fans?
**Ahsan Ramzan:** I just want everyone to know that we should stand together for our rights and our passion for the sport. We deserve spaces to practice and grow. I hope this incident opens dialogue about the treatment of athletes and business owners in our community.
**Editor:** Thank you for sharing your experience, Ahsan. We wish you all the best in your preparations for the National Championship.
**Ahsan Ramzan:** Thank you very much!
