India’s Sikh hockey star says ‘enough is enough’
WSN Network 

PERTH/CHANDIGARH: Top Indian Hockey star and pride of the Sikh community, Rajpal Singh, has finally cocked a snook at the administrators of the game after he was constantly being targetted despite consistent and fantastic performance.  

Now, with less than a month to go for the crucial Olympic qualifiers in Santiago, Chile, Rajpal Singh, a key striker, finally told the world that “enough is enough”. In several conversations separately with reporters from Perth, Rajpal, in whom the city of Chandigarh also takes pride, said he would not play the qualifiers. “My self-respect is most important for me,” he said, thus making it clear that he was being hassled by his coach. Rajpal has been a key member of the national squad. 

It is clear that his ties with coach Joaquim Carvalho have not been great. Incidentally, India has entrusted its entire hockey domain to KPS Gill, neither known for his sportsmanship, nor skills in any sport except bloodshed of innocents.
