Canada Alberta World Juniors se Russia aur Belarus ko rokega, Carney ne kaha

Canada agle mahine Alberta mein hone wali world junior ice hockey championship mein Russia ya Belarus ke khiladiyon ko hissa nahi lene dega, Pradhan Mantri Mark Carney ne Mangalvaar, 3 November 2026 ko kaha. Ek shikhar sammelan ke ant mein Antigua mein television par prasit press conference mein Carney ne Russian khiladiyon ko visa dene se inkaar ke sawaal ka jawaab diya.

"Jab tak Russia aur Belarus Ukraine mein is avaidh, anuchit, bhayanak yuddh ka samarthan kar rahe hain, jab tak yeh jaari hai, un khiladiyon mein se koi bhi apne deshon ke liye Canada mein pratispardha nahi karega," Carney ne Reuters ke anusaar kaha. "Agar aap khaas taur par world juniors ke baare mein pooch rahe hain, to Russian wahan nahi honge."

Sarkaar immigration shaktiyon ka istemaal karegi

Mangalvaar ek bayaan mein sanghiya sarkaar ne kaha ki woh apni immigration shaktiyon ka istemaal karke Russian aur Belarusian khiladiyon aur adhikaariyon ko apne rashtriya prateekon ke tahat pratispardha karne ke liye Canada mein pravesh karne se rokegi. Pravesh ka aaklan vyaktigat roop se kiya jayega, aur tatasth roop se pratispardha karne wale khiladi Canada mein aayojit antarrashtriya khel aayojanon mein ab bhi hissa le sakenge.

"Yeh kadam Russian aur Belarusian logon ke khilaaf nirdeshit nahi hai," bayaan mein kaha gaya. "Iska maksad Russia aur Belarus ki sarkararon ko Canada mein aayojit antarrashtriya khel aayojanon ko rajya pratinidhitva, rajnaitik vaidhata aur prachaar ke manch ke roop mein istemaal karne se rokna hai."

"Hum Finn, Czech, Swede aur anya rashtron ke faislon ka sammaan karte hain, lekin yeh faisla hum apne aap lete hain," Carney ne kaha. Canada pichhle hafte us adalat ke faisle ki ninda kar chuka tha jisne Russians ko International Ice Hockey Federation ke aayojanon mein pratispardha karne ki anumati di thi, aur Canada Ukraine ka pramukh antarrashtriya samarthak hai.

Adalat ke faisle ne takraav khada kiya

Court of Arbitration for Sport ne Shukravaar, 30 October ko faisla diya ki Russia ko antarrashtriya hockey mein bahaal kiya jana chahiye, world junior tournament se shuruaat karke. Moscow ke 2022 mein Ukraine par hamle ke baad se Russian teamein pratibandhit hain.

Russian khel mantri Mikhail Degtyarev ne 30 October ke bayaan mein kaha ki faisla antim hai aur Russia International Ice Hockey Federation, IIHF ke saath apni wapsi ke liye kaam karega. IIHF executive council ne faisle ke baad kam se kam do din aur apni charcha taal di. Pravakta Kristoffer Holm ne Mangalvaar, Carney ke bolne se pehle, Sportsnet ko bataya ki federation ke paas koi atirikt tippani nahi hai lekin hafte ke baad ke hisse mein vikaas ki ummeed hai.

Tournament 26 December 2026 ko Edmonton aur Red Deer, Alberta mein shuru hota hai aur January ki shuruaat tak chalta hai. Das teamein abhi tay hain: Canada, Sweden, Czechia, Switzerland, United States, Germany, Latvia, Slovakia, Norway aur Finland. Sweden defending champion hai.

Federations ne inkaar kiya aur Hockey Canada ne Ottawa ka samarthan kiya

Sweden, Finland aur Czechia samet chhah European hockey federations ne kaha ki woh Russian teamon ka saamna nahi karenge. Latvia ka naam bhi inkaar karne walon mein liya gaya, aur Norway ne 2027 men world championship mein Russia ka saamna karne se inkaar kiya hai.

Mangalvaar pehle, Ukraine ke videsh mantri Andrii Sybiha ne un federations ko dhanyavaad diya jinhone Russia ke khilaaf khelne se inkaar kiya tha aur Canada samet anya hockey shaktiyon se bhi aisa hi karne ka aagrah kiya. Ukrainian Canadian Congress ne bhi Ottawa se visa dene se inkaar karne ka aagrah kiya tha. "Agar CAS ke paas naitik disha nahi hai, to dikhayein ki hockey mein ab bhi moolya hain. Russia ke khilaaf khelne se inkaar karein aur uske khiladiyon ko visa na dein," Sybiha ne likha.

Hockey Canada ne kaha ki woh sarkaar ki sthiti ka samarthan karta hai aur Canada mein apne rashtriya prateekon ke tahat hissa lene wale khiladiyon aur adhikaariyon par kada rukh ke liye Ottawa ko dhanyavaad deta hai. Usne kaha ki woh agle kadamon par charcha ke liye is hafte apne board of directors ke saath baithak karega.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith ne Shukravaar kaha ki prant adalat ke faisle ka paalan karega. Alberta ke khel mantri Andrew Boitchenko ne jawaab mein kaha ki prant ka dhyaan Edmonton aur Red Deer mein safal 2027 world juniors aayojit karne ke liye bhagidaaron ke saath kaam karne par bana hua hai.
