SPORT LD BINDRA 4 LAST

"Where does the NRAI come in all this? If the ministry
says that you cannot select someone without trial, how can we
flout that? Won't we get hauled up if we send names of
shooters who have not appeared for trials?" Bhatia pointed
out.

Abhinav's standoff with the NRAI comes just a few days
after the national hockey team went on strike for non-payment
of dues and had to be pacified by the administrators with a
promise of payments before the World Cup in March.
Hockey goalkeeper Baljit Singh had lashed out at the
sports ministry just a couple of days ago for abandoning his
treatment midway.
Abhinav's father A S BIndra said the shooter's morale has
taken a hit after constant run-ins with NRAI.
"His emotional state is very low. He is planning that if
'I am subjected to such harassment then it's better to quit
then confront'," he added.
The incidents reflect poorly on Indian sports in a year
in which the country is scheduled to host the Commonwealth
Games in October. PTI PM
