Indian Olympic Association president Narinder Batra has written a letter to sports minister Kiren Rijiju seeking a meeting to explain the"proposed boycott". "We have been noticing over a period of time that wherever India seems to be getting grip on the game and performing well... either the goal posts are shifted or rules are changed.""We feel it is time for us in IOA/India to start asking tough questions and start taking tough positions," added Batra, also the president of the International Hockey Federation .
