By ONE Liners Agency
INDIA NEWS – Commonwealth Games (CWG) 2010 (New Delhi) can’t even escape the wrath of former players. In a recent expulsion, former Hockey Olympian Aslam Sher Khan has accused Commonwealth organizers for corruption. While talking to journalists he said the game was surrounded by corruption. He intensified his statement by declaring it a record breaking Commonwealth Games corruption has ever been witnessed by the world. He also accused the baton in England.
"I have been told that Rs. 28,000 crore has been spent on the games, and I feel that this was a colossal waste and nothing else," he added.
He lamented that the government had spent a huge lump sum of 280 billion rupees for the Games when the aspiring athletes are looking at government with parched hope. He said even the basic facilities were not provided for the players, be it on or off the field.
He said it was a wrong priority of the Government of India to organize such corrupt event, whereas one balloon was hired for two hours for 40 crores rupees. On the other hand budding players are dying of want of a little help from the government.
He also strongly condemned Union Sports Minister M S Gill for asking wrestling coach Satpal to stand aside in a photo session with World Championship gold-medalist winner Sushil Kumar in New Delhi.
"Maybe Gill wanted to show to the world that he was to be credited for the medal won by Sushil Kumar and Satpal had nothing to do with it," Aslam said.
The Commonwealth Games 2010 will be India’s grandest sporting extravaganza since the 1982 Asian Games in New Delhi. India is expecting about two million visitors and 10,000 athletes from 71 teams of Commonwealth Nations. CWG New Delhi will start from October 3 and end on 14 of same month.
