Constructive suggestions from MPs welcome: Gill

A day after more than 100 MPs joined hands to remove ‘autocratic’ Gill, IHF chief said he was well aware of MPs concern.

With the ‘sack Gill’ move gaining momentum with Members of Parliament joining the campaign, the beleaguered Indian Hockey Federation chief KPS Gill said he is open to ‘constructive suggestions’ by the MPs to revive the game.

A day after more than 100 MPs joined hands to remove the ‘autocratic’ Gill to ‘save Indian hockey,’ the IHF supreme said he was well aware of the Parliamentarians’ concern.

On one MP’s reported comments that ‘electric shock should be given to the system,’ Gill said, “IHF is in the process of giving the shock.”

“We would like and appreciate constructive suggestions by the MPs and others concerned. The Federation will consider such suggestions with great regard,” he said.

Gill expressed confidence that MPs’ inputs would help him revive Indian hockey.

“I am sure that Indian hockey will gain by the notice and interest taken by the Members of Parliament,” he said.

Gill has been under attack after India failed to qualify for the Olympics for the first time in 80 years following their 2-0 defeat to Great Britain in the final of the Olympic qualifiers in Santiago, Chile.
