”You can remove me from national team, but please explain to the whole world reason the coach who qualified me for the quarterfinal in Rio is not in Tokyo.
You all wanted me to perform well, but you removed my coach from coming to Tokyo Olympics. ”Athletes were been short paid and nobody should complain? ”If Honourable minister don’t come and address the athletes, these officials will spoil all the good things you have been doing.”
