VK Malhotra slams sports ministry's double standards

Archery Association of India (AAI) president Vijay Kumar Malhotra slammed the government for its double standards against the sports body.

Malhotra told reporters that the ministry in response to an RTI application said that it recognises him as the president of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) but does not recognise him as the AAI president and has derecognised the archery association.

“It is a very complicated and confusing situation. But world body does not have any bar on the age and tenure guidelines, Malhotra said.
