Hockey India president Narinder Batra said the ad-hoc committee formed by Tamil Nadu Olympic Association to solve the problems faced by the former’s Tamil Nadu unit has no relevance.
“TNOA has no business and authority to interfere with the affairs of Hockey India,” he told The Hindu on Friday.
It can be recalled that TNOA had formed a five-member committee and has authorised it to conduct the election within six months.
Batra said Hockey India would look into the affairs of its Tamil Nadu unit as it has given the latter a deadline till the end of August to sort out the issues.
“Hopefully, we will find a solution,” said Batra.
“Even otherwise, Tamil Nadu has enough Olympians such as Baskaran and Md. Riaz who, I think, can offer solutions.”
He further said that Tamil Nadu had a lot of potential.
“We will not let the State down,” he said.
