Dhanraj being victimised: Baskaran

CHENNAI, MAY 6. Olympian and former Indian hockey coach, Vasudevan Baskaran, alleged that Dhanraj Pillay was being victimised by the Indian Hockey Federation (IHF) for seeking more money for the players and demanded a probe by the Union Government into the functioning of the Federation.

Baskaran wanted the Government to intervene as the IHF ``has never been transparent in their functioning. The Union Government should conduct a probe into the whole affair, including the functioning of both IHF and Sports Authority of India (SAI), which is responsible for such pathetic treatment meted out to the best players in the country,'' he said.

The former Indian captain sought to know from the IHF the names of members of the selection committee and the two Government nominees who attended the meeting to pick the 30 players. ``I am sure the norms set by the Union Sports Ministry have been flouted. No selection committee exists in the IHF ever since the present office-bearers were elected in Hyderabad,'' Baskaran said. — PTI
