Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) has rejected claims from the International Hockey Federation (FIH) that it had not submitted travel documents for its players by the official deadline, which FIH said resulted in its exclusion from the Junior World Cup.

India did not issue Pakistan's junior hockey players the visas that they needed to be able to participate in the tournament, a press release issued by the PHF said.

"This version of the FIH is completely baseless as the PHF had submitted visa application forms along with relevant documents pertaining to visa formalities well in time on Oct 24. The No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the government of Pakistan had also been obtained on time but still India did not issue visas to the Pakistani contingent," it added.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also issued a statement on Thursday, confirming that India had not granted the hockey team's visa applications.

Speaking to DawnNews earlier, PHF Secretary Shehbaz Ahmed termed the move "pre-planned" and said "Pakistan did not delay any obligations pertaining to schedules and it is India's fault which did not issue visas to the Pakistani delegation before the given deadline."

Pakistan on Nov 19 had issued NOCs to the Pakistan's junior hockey team in order for them to take part in the Junior World Hockey Cup scheduled to be held in India from Dec 8 to 18.

The Malaysian junior men’s has replaced Pakistan as per the decision of FIH issued Monday.

"Ironically," the PHF press release added, "India is ready to provide visas to the Malaysian team, who have replaced Pakistan, in three-days' time."

Calling FIH's decision an "unjust act", the PHF said that despite having limited resources, it had spent around Rs100 million to prepare the junior squad.

PHF was trying to act oversmart. They were adamant that all matches involving Pakistan team should be played in Pakistan instead of India. In essence, they wanted to become co-hosts of the World Cup. And this is FIH's way of saying -- “Go screw yourself"

Pakistan team was late in applying for Visa, do not expect a special treatment from India.

i am not in favor of this in case it has been done just because the team was coming from Pakistan....however i am not getting as to why FIH would side with India on this?...I mean ICC is really under BCCI control yet they penalized Indian women team for not playing with Pakistan....so is there someone knowledgeable who can spill the beans here...

This is what happened... PHF wanted to pull a “BCCI" on India. They refused to travel to India for the world cup citing security reasons. Their demand was that all the Pakistani matches should be rescheduled to Pakistani stadiums. The FIH rejected their demands. So, the Pakistani govt refused to grant NOCs and a logjam ensued. Finally, the FIH got weary of PHF's shenanigans and decided to replace their team with Malaysia. At the same time, Pakistan govt finally granted the NOCs to PHF. By then, it was too late. So, when the PHF displayed interest in participating, the FIH said -- “Fcuk off..!!".

And so... here we are.. In the end, PHF ended up losing both their participation and their “ghairat". Dhobi ka kutta... Naa ghar ka, Naa ghaat ka.

As I said, PHF were trying to pull a “BCCI" stunt. It was a bluff. FIH called their bluff. And when PHF saw their game getting shattered, they tried to save face by announcing that they are now ready to send their team to India. But the FIH had already invited the Malaysian team to participate in place of Pakistan by then.

And so we come to the present situation of this latest “World cup issue", where India has the “World cup" and Pakistan has an “issue".

The only treatment India knows how to express itself is to kill civilians.

Ladies and gentlemen no need for awards as Indians are the most hyper mentally unstable nation with extreme over exaggerated story lines. Oh look a flock of birds just entered India, they must be an elite commando unit quickly inform the Bollywood masala news agencies!
