Indian Hockey--no "CHAK DE" without salary
No taxation without representation
No life without mobile
Can Hockey world cup 2010 revive Indian hockey ?
No Young Female Hockey Players for U-18 Event
Indian hockey has been gone in a deeper mess when on friday the entire men's team on Friday boycotted the World Cup practice camp in Pune due to salary issue. This can be a shame for any kind of game but this shame gets big when that game is your national game. Cricket is not our national game but cricket is becomming the spirit of Indians and all crickets are earning in lacks and crors. Their remunration is much more high than the players of our national game. Its good for cricket and crickers but Hockey india should take care of all these things.
The players have been demanding fixed monthly salaries. An earlier revolt on the issue had been contained after assurances from Hockey India.
But the players were not willing to accept assurances anymore and wanted their dues paid before resuming training for next month's World Cup.Assurance is no more...
Meanwhile the Caption of Indian men's hockey team Rajpal Singh has been said.. "They didn't get back to us so we had to take this step. We are going to Delhi tomorrow to meet with the Hockey India Federationthe players will resume practice only after their dues were cleared by Hockey India".
We can get the situation that the condition is as misrable. Indian team won bronze medal in the tournament, held in Salta, Argentina last month but still the payment of that tournament is not given to players. So how can expect a new madel from the team...
On screen coach of hockey girls'team and star Shahrukh Khan also commected on the issue.. Shah Rukh says "he feels awful that a team playing for the country has to ask for the salaries of its players". "Feel awful for the Indian hockey team. To play for the country, national sport and have to ask for salary. And we complain we don’t win gold," Shah Rukh commented.
The Hockey India is always been in controversies that we have seen in the elections and previos issue of salary. But now we can only expect for a good time to indian hockey otherwise the results in Hockey world cup will not be much better which is scheduled to be held in New Delhi from February 28 to March 13th.
