It’s time for conciliation: K.P.S. Gill
Indian Hockey Federation president K.P.S. Gill on Wednesday offered an olive branch to the IOA and Hockey India to sit together and find a solution to the hockey mess.
The Sports Ministry on Tuesday issued a statement that it would work to obtain co-operation of both the IHF and HI in the best interest of hockey in the country, and Mr. Gill felt all the parties should start working on this basis.
“I don’t want to go into a debate on any issue. There has been lot of mudslinging going on. It won’t help and only hockey will suffer. The most realistic way out now is to sit together and thrash out the issues,” Mr. Gill, who has never been shy of criticising both Indian Olympic Association and HI, told reporters at a press conference here.
“Cases have been pending in seven High Courts now. It is in a very bad shape. So, let us get together and if we do so I think we can thrash it out in a week,” he added confidently.
