‘All Countries Wear The Flag On Competition Wear': SFI Brushes Off Controversy Over Tricolour On Swimming Trunks
Asian Aquatics Championship: After the controversy sparked by the display of the national flag on the swimming trunks of the Indian men's water polo team during the Asian Aquatics Championship in Ahmedabad, the Swimming Federation of India has clarified the matter, saying the inclusion of the national flag on the athletes' competition wear adheres strictly to the World Aquatics regulations governing sportswear.
The Indian men's water polo team found itself in a major controversy by displaying the tricolour on their swimming trunks during the Asian Championship, a move that violates the country's Flag Code.
Reacting to the matter, SFI secretary general Monal Chokshi told IANS, "In our opinion, there is no controversy. Some media houses picked it up and think it's some kind of a controversy over there or a violation. All countries wear the flag on their competition wear. Every single team has been wearing this and the Indian team has also worn it and it is in line with the World Aquatics competition wear guidelines."
