Will Explore Legal Recourse If I Do Not Get Clear Answers: Manika Batra Issues Stern Warning Over Asiad Snub
The Table Tennis Federation: After questioning her exclusion from the Asian Games squad, ace paddler Manika Batra hit back at allegations that she is demanding a place in the team or seeking special consideration. Manika clarified that she is not looking for a forced inclusion but is merely seeking clear answers regarding her shocking omission, as no "specific reason" has been communicated to her.
The Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI) recently announced the squad for the mega event in Aichi-Nagoya, naming the 31-year-old Khel Ratna awardee only among the reserves. The omission came as a shock to many, given her status as India's premier international performer over the last decade.
Terming the decision of her omission "arbitrary and lacking transparency", the veteran athlete has formally requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya to intervene, warning of legal recourse if satisfactory explanations are not provided.
