He said, “It’s the para athletes who were protesting. They were not invited to the Sports festival but neighbouring countries were invited and they have been training.”

That's so unfair na...

Why should they be ignored in a National Event but extending invitations to other countries? undecided

Our sports ministry is always enmeshed in controversy.




The police will always show why they are so uncivilized embarassed, why shooting tear gas at the protesters?
