Will someone please bother to tell us Indian’s as to what exactly has been the outcome of those alleged to have been involved in 1000s of crores of CWG Delhi 2010 scam before we even think of officially placing our bid for another CWG Ahmedabad 2030? . #SomeCallItMickeyMouseGames.

I don’t think that’s the way I would like to analyse the situation and conclude. For once let’s have legendary@Abhinav_Bindra as President IOA & then see whether sportspersons of outstanding merit make good administrators or not. Till then I would like to reserve my judgment.
@TheRahulMehra She does her master’s bidding. So the idea of having retired sportsmen at the helm of federations has been trashed. They are as bad as anyone else.

It’s now a writing on the wall.
Sadly no one in the #Indianfootball community be it the journalists, youtubers, saddist uncles, fans, hooligans are talking about. This will ensure people like PP and KC, deepak sharma continue to occupy positions in federations.

The turf in BCCI now stands protected for the blue blood. Make no mistake about it that a SportsBill can never be tabled in Parliament if BCCI isn’t backing it. This regressive, draconian & anti sportspersons Bill has been brought at its behest only. #TheLastLaugh.#WaitAndWatch.

My views on the Sports Bill 2025 which is draconian, regressive, anti reforms and anti sportspersons and which has recently been passed in both Houses of Parliament👇. @sharatpradhan21.

What a fall for a legendary sportsperson like you. Instead of opposing this draconian, restrictive, undemocratic, unaccountable, opaque, regressive, anti reforms &anti sportspersons Bill which ushers in an era of complete Govt control of all sports bodies, you supported it. #Sad.
The National Sports Governance Bill, 2025, passed by India's Parliament today is the right step for ethical sports administration, including a National Sports Board for regulating federations & a Tribunal for disputes. (1/2)

Passing of the Sports Bill in Parliament is the biggest disservice done by @mansukhmandviya ji to not only Indian sports but more importantly its sportspersons as it completely dumps all the well meaning reforms which were implemented &accepted by one & all in the sports sector.

You had the golden opportunity to choose democracy over perpetuity, integrity over corruption, well meaning reforms over entrenched status quo, accountability, transparency, youth & sportspersons over opaque vested interest groups. Sad you chose the latter💔.@mansukhmandviya.

And I am told sportspersons don’t make good administrators. Problem is not with sportspersons but the system. If they are fiercely independent, have a spine, are honest & selfless with their heart beating for the right cause then they shall excel. Hope my namesake here does 🇮🇳.
Let me reiterate, and I mean this genuinely - there have been many invisible driving forces behind Indian rugby in the past, there are many in the present and there will be scores more in the future. The culture of this sport is to move forward always together. The prima donna.

This Bill allegedly has been brought under pressure of the entrenched &powerful sports bosses so as to insulate them fm much needed &long awaited reform process ushered in through landmark judgments which is why SportsMin couldn’t refer to even a single well meaning clause in it?.

With all due respect Sir, today shall forever be remembered as black day in Indian sports as you hv successfully ensured to protect unending tenures of the conflicted & entrenched federation bosses by passing a draconian, regressive, opaque, unaccountable & anti sportsperson Bill.

So I got a call fm Indian Express to hv my views on the Bill. I talk to them for 45mins & give my take on the draconian Bill to be told that much of what I said can & most likely will be edited. Pro Bill articles get printed as it is but anti Bill, no chance. #IndependentMedia?.
Here’s an open invitation to all of leading Indian media, print & electronic, editors &journalists especially sports journalists, to carry my interview on the regressive &draconian Sports Bill 2025. #NoTakersForFactsAndTruth #NoAppetiteForIndependentCounterPoint .#NoGutsToCarry.
