It
seems odd to hear about bribe in sports, but it has proved
to be true. The bribe taking people do not bother about the
prestige of India. A private news channel has shown Indian
Hockey Federation general secretary, Jyotikumaran taking bribe
from a player for his selection in the national team. The
news channel has exposed the deal through "Operation
Chuk De". The shannel has claimed that Jyotikumaran has
assured its sting operation team for selection of a senior
Indian player of hockey in Azlan Shah Hockey Tournament in
next month and demanded Rs 5 lakh bribe against this work.
Jyotikumaran was given Rs 2 lakh on April 10 and 11 in a five
star hotel and assurance was given to pay his man the remaining
Rs 3 lakh. Jyotikumaran after receiving the amount told the
sting team that the name of player has been sent earlier for
the final list to participate in Azlan Shah hockey cup. Though,
Jyotikumaran has tendered his resignation, but after this
operation several questions are raising about the Indian sports.
Sports have met deterioration due to the entry of sportsmen
in the team, taking bribe. Several matters came into lighty
in the cricket in context of gambling and match fixing. Domination
in the sports is great concern and it should be think seriously.
Even tennis and badminton like sports have also been in disputes
due to some reasons. Recently, Indian Hockey team could not
qualify for Beijing Olympic games. There might be such weaknesses
otherwise India was leader of hockey in the world. Questions
had been raising about corruption in sports. But it seems
that we did not take lesson yet. Our performance had not been
best even in Asian and Olympic sports. We never considered
seriously about the process and management during finding
out the reason behind defeat. Such tendency should be checked
otherwise Indian sports would face more deteriorated condition.
There is need to adopt honest efforts proving ourselves in
the world.
