Harendra Singh, who was replaced as India coach by Australian Michael Nobbs, yesterday hit out at former captain and teammate Pargat Singh, saying that he has very little to show as an international except "fixing matches".
Harendra told information syndicate NNIS that Pargat, who is now chairman of Hockey India's (HI) development committee, has done nothing good for Indian hockey. "He was the only captain who led India in two Olympics and we have not won a single medal. He is the only captain who had allegations of match fixing against him in hockey.
"He was the man who went onto the ground and asked the players not to score the goal and today he is talking about the welfare of hockey, it's very sad," said Harendra.
"And the sad part of this is that every one knows about it, even then they have given full command to him. He has ruined hockey and I am sorry to use this word.
"I have seen how Dhanraj Pillay has fought since 1987 till date and Pargat has ignored his contribution and has always worked for his own benefits," he said.
