In an earlier email to the executive board, Tirkey had said that even as Hockey India president, he was not consulted before the change was finalised.
In Monday’s email, Tirkey asserted that Hockey India must remain an “apolitical sporting institution” and questioned whether the federation had adequately considered the wider implications of the move.
“Athletes should not be placed in a position where they are required to publicly justify, defend or explain administrative decisions taken by Hockey India,” Tirkey wrote.
