Objections Raised Over PT Usha and Hockey India Nominations Ahead of IOA Elections
Ahead of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) elections on December 5, objections have been raised regarding the eligibility of PT Usha's nomination as a representative of the Ice Hockey Association of India (IHAI). Critics question her membership status and the authority of the nominating federation amid multiple factional disputes within IHAI. Separately, former IOA president Narinder Batra challenged Hockey India's nomination process for its representatives, citing a lack of transparency and formal approval. These disputes highlight ongoing controversies in the IOA election preparations.
