A few minutes after he was elected president of the International Hockey Federation in Dubai, Narinder Batra adopted a conciliatory tone towards hockey ties with Pakistan. Speaking to reporters soon after he became the first Indian to head the world body of any Olympic sport, Batra said he expected both India and Pakistan to honour their international commitments.India and Pakistan have political compulsions. These are political issues. When they start when they stop, no one has any idea. But you cant refuse international commitments, he said. India will have to play and Pakistan will have to play. If either India or Pakistan tries to ignore, you will miss your bus to the Olympics. Its as simple as that.Batra, who said his mandate at the FIH was to increase revenues and grow the sport, was not averse to the idea of India and Pakistan playing home and away matches. With international teams still wary of touring Pakistan, he even floated the idea of neutral venues.?India (versus) Pakistan has always been high intensity games (with) good viewership. Home and away will be a good addition to that. And Im a strong supporter of home and away matches, he said.If there are political reasons you cant go to Pakistan, you can look at a neutral venue. If there are restrictions, Pakistan has to select where they want to play and FIH has to approve.The atmosphere of goodwill was absent when Batra was Hockey India chief. Not too long ago, you could always count on Batra to be vocal in his opposition to India-Pakistan sporting ties. India and Pakistan have been playing each other, but only in international tournaments - most recently the Asian Champions Trophy.Sporting ties between the two countries have always blown hot and cold. The most recent trigger for the chill was celebrations by members of the Pakistan squad following their win over India at the 2014 Champions Trophy in Bhubaneshwar. India found the celebrations crude, and when Batra asked Pakistan to apologise, they refused to oblige.?As a result, a bilateral series between the two countries, scheduled to be held later that year in Dhaka, was called off. Pakistan players were also blacklisted from the Hockey India League, the richest of its sport in the world.When the BCCI made tentative attempts to restore cricketing ties in 2015, again at a neutral venue - Sri Lanka - Batra slammed the body. He said the BCCI had chosen monetary gains over public sentiment across the country.It is all about money (that BCCI wants to play Pakistan) but in times like these you have to rise above monetary gains, he had said. Batra also scrapped the MoU signed between the hockey federations of the two countries that dated back to 2012.Batra would reiterate his stance that the Indian hockey team would not play Pakistan in a bilateral series until relations between the two countries improved, and until the Pakistan Hockey Federation apologised for its players behaviour during the 2014 Champions Trophy.The secretary of the Pakistan Hockey Federation even stated in January this year that Batra had skipped the meeting of the Asian Hockey Federation, of which he was then the vice president.While Pakistan are yet to apologise for the events at the Kalinga Stadium two years ago,?Batra said he had spoken to the Pakistan Hockey Federations representative in Dubai a day before the election when he was still Hockey India chief, and that all issues were resolved.?We met with the PHF and all old issues have been resolved. Whatever issues happened at the Champions trophy have been resolved. Those issues about bilateral (ties) are over, he said.
