Indian hockey players to go on hunger strike
Press Trust of IndiaChennai, September 26
Irked by the "step-motherly treatment" meted out to the Indian hockey players, as compared to the emoluments given to the winning Indian cricket team, the team members have decided to go on a 'hunger strike'.
Chief Coach of the national team Joaquim Carvalho was peeved that while title victory of his wards in the Asia Cup was ignored, Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel and the state governments of Maharashtra , Haryana, Jharkhand and Karnataka announced cash awards for the cricketers for winning the Twenty20 World Cup.
"Why our hockey players are being treated like orphans and why our politicians are biased against hockey, the national game?" Carvalho asked.
Carvalho said, "We are grateful ever to the President of India for her sending individual letters congratulating the hockey players for their Asia Cup win, without losing a match." He said a coach and four players had planned to go on hunger strike before the Karnataka Chief Minister's house to protest announcement of Rs 5 lakh cash award each for the members of the cricket team, while "treating the State hockey players like dust".
Carvalho said, "The Karnataka CM till date has not congratulated hockey players from the state for the Asia Cup win.”
"Coach Ramesh Pa ram eswaran, manager R K Shetty and four players (Vik ram Kanth, V R Rahunath, S V Sunil and Ignace Tirkey) are to go on hunger strike before the Chief Minister's house," he said.
The same thing happen for Vishwanathan Anand when he won lot of international titles in Chess.
The government and the media should treat all the games in equal manner.
A Sensible, Real Citizen of India definitely think about it. You…….?
