Women hockey players demand their due, with black badge

Telling the nation enough is enough, women hockey players seemed set to set the things straight. Senior players Surinder Kaur and Mamta Kharab informed that the team now in a camp at Bhopal, will take to field on Thursday wearing black badge.

They are of the view that while Hockey India gave money for Senior and Junior men teams — after they went on revolt last week — they have been unfairly left out.

Women hockey indeed achieved fairly a great deal of achievement last year, even once defeating mighty Argentina on their soils, and then taming the Koreans in the crucial semifinal, thereby booking the world cup berth commendably.

These girls have also opened an account with Syndicate Bank in Bhopal, (Branch OTT Nagar, Account No.7705201000297) with an appeal to the nation to deposit money whoever wants to pay for them

Women hockey players have been wronged by decades, and it is hoped their bold step
will bring enough attention and fetch what they want — equality
