Sunita Garware Again a support staff. And like Mehta, she’s also going to study India’s Asian Games bid.

Shahnawaz Hussain The minister of state for sports and youth affairs goes to Sydney because his senior, sports minister S.S. Dhindsa, pulled out because his son is contesting elections from Sunam, Punjab, during the games.

Pal Singh Sandhu Kunjarani’s allegation that she was left out because Sandhu wanted to go only adds fuel to the fire.
