Explaining his perspective on the issue, the first tribal to get Arjuna award till Dilip Tirkey emerged on the scene, Kindo said: "No player enters the fied to get defeated. Once on the field players play for winning. So also the Orissa Steelers team in the Premier Hockey League. Only ignorant people like Pratap Satpati, who questioned Dilip Tirkey's integrity, can think on those lines. How can he state Dilip wanted the team to lose, and conspired with another coach to prevent this team from entering the finals. By questioning so, he has insulted the whole playing community and in particular our tribal boys and girls who form almost half of Indian hockey teams nowadays. We cannot allow We can't take this lightly, allow it go this. We are damn angry and we want to show this to the world. That's why we took this extra-ordinary step of organizing the rally at my home town, Rourkela, Orissa's real hockey hub".

He further said that thousands of tribals wanted to participate in the rally on Wednesday, but my fear is our area being remote it will depend on whether those will get transport to reach here. or not. On asked what the rally is going to achieve, he felt that their anger will be registered. "We seek public apology from the official, and also his resignation" Unable to name the organization that spearheads the rally, he simply said: "it is an instant reaction, sports lovers and followers will be the participants". It is however gathered that a core group consisting of local Member of Legislative Assembly Gregory Minz, Prof. Vijay Kumar Topp of Gagan College, Peter Tirkey (junior world cup player), Isodore Tirkey (Secretary of Jaipal Singh Memorial Hockey Tournament) will be in the forefront. Around 70 players were present when the decision to call for a rally was announced in a press conference on last Saturday in Rourkela, where India's one of the biggest steel plant is located.

"Satpati says in the paper he selected Dilip Tirkey for India. Is it not an insult to Dilip. He got selected because of his talent, not because of any individual".

"For tribal citizen, it is a prestige issue", Kindo signs off.
