Ex Hockey India Federation chief writes to Kejriwal seeking probe against Jaitley

After cricket it's Hockey's turn. Former Hockey India Federation chief, KPS Gill, has complained to Delhi chief minister against Arun Jaitley and of the massive irregularities in Hockey India. In his letter to Arvind Kejriwal, Mr. Gill said Mr. Jaitley got his daughter, Sonali Jaitley, appointed in the Legal Committee of Hockey India League and reportedly paid huge amounts.

"Mr. Jaitley being a senior Minister in the Government should either resign as the minister or as the member of the advisory body of the Hockey India League," Mr. Gill wrote.

Highlighting the massive corruption and misrule, Mr. Gill wrote that a player was suspended for asking high quality of food to be served to them in the training camps. "He had to go to court to get a stay on his suspension. But he will not find a place in the team. What do you say about all this, tolerance or intolerance?"

Asking Mr. Kejriwal to scan the list of office bearers, various committees formed in Hockey India League and misappropriation of funds, Mr. Gill said that the time has come to stop "this Frankenstein Monster who will finish the game of Hockey in this country."

Aam Aadmi Party government has said that they will probe. AAP leader Sanjay Singh, who along with Mr. Kejriwal and four others is facing defamation charges levelled by Mr. Jaitley, said that KPS Gill's letter is clear that Finance Minister's family members have been benefiting from his position. "His lies have been exposed. He said his family has nothing to do with Sports Management Business but his daughter is a part of the Legal Committee and paid huge amounts," Mr. Singh said.
