Where is our sports minsiter

Do we have a sports minister? He is also tweeting around until things crash. If the players are not paid the problem is the creation of the HI. Giving ultimatum is crazy and that HI official to be given the ultimatum too. They are alareday low paid compared to cricketrs and that pay is also needs to be begged with these idiots.
Shame on of you sports ministry?

The players are cleverly intelligent

Mattoo works without salary as the head of Hockey India and also as the treasurer of the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee. The only benefit he recieves is a car from the CWG OC. He is being straightforward, honest and transparent about the lack of funds. He also told the players that if they get a podium finish in the world cup, sponsors would come in and one crore will be handed out to the players. The 1.74 crores recieved from SAHARA do not go into the national men team's payment but, also the women team and the junior teams. Moreover, a lot of it going into organising the Hockey World Cup, which is a great step in reviving hockey in India. The timing of the player's actions is highly controversial.

Hockey crisis deepens; MP, Punjab offer financial help

PNS | Pune

The striking hockey players have said that if Hockey India is unable to clear their dues, they are ready to participate in the Hockey World Cup at their own expenditure.

Earlier, the striking players walked out of an inconclusive meeting with the Hockey India officials, prompting the establishment to serve a fresh 48-hour ultimatum to the players to resume training or get axed from the World Cup squad.

Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh and Punjab Governments have offered to provide financial assistance to the hockey players and sponsor the team for the World Cup tournament in New Delhi next month.
