‘Abhinav Bindra, Jaspal Rana are ungrateful’

Reformation has to happen - Indian Politicians have no business managing what should be professional bodies by Singha on 2008-09-19 07:04:17.894173+05:30
NRAI like other organisations politicised by congress is a failure. We need to benchmark our organisations with how successful sports nations like US, Russia and china operate.

Digvijay Singh is insane. He does not know what he is talking about.

‘Abhinav Bindra, Jaspal Rana are ungrateful’ by Gurumurthy on 2008-09-19 06:17:37.942738+05:30
Enough of this bindra and our sports authorities. bindra has achieved something great - no doubt. but we in India are so boastful of our small 'individual' achievements, I think we need to focus on the communityand our attitudinal development. These successful sports persons (mainly their overzealous parents) should use thier new found popularity to help others rateher than trying to occupy media space - of course the media also has let us down to such an extent - they can't sell unldess they induslge in this kind of stories - just we had the shameful episode of media blowing up the CERN experiment that drove some one to commit suicide. Some introspection is needed for allthose involved . May be the media also needs to recruit more 'journalists' than MBAs

Bindra,Rana and other Olympians are repeating the same very sad facts about the Govt. officials. Why this present Govt. is not shunting out these good for nothing officials .

No place for Politicians. by Srihari on 2008-09-19 01:37:10.220489+05:30
Ask the President of the so called Federation to take the honorary post and the perks that come along with this job and keep his political mouth shut. He should be praising the two champions instead of lashing out at them and criticising them in public. These two shooters have brought more laurels than what Mr. President of Rifle federation have brought to his post all his life.

Rifle Asociation of India's arrogance by Ramkrishna on 2008-09-19 00:26:58.189068+05:30
I am surprised by the arrogance of the President of National Rifle Association of India Mr. Digvijay singh. The gold medal of Abhinav Bindra is purely due to the hard work of Mr. Bindra and nothing else. Unfortunately the beurocrats and politicians are keen to take credit but when it comes to failures, they blame some one else.

JOKER by NARAYAN LAKSHMAN on 2008-09-18 23:56:38.848699+05:30
Mr. Digvijay Singh is a full time joker not even worth mentioning. Investigate how all the funds and money is used by the NRA of India.

setting up federations is probably the lamest excuse Digvijay Singh could ever had come up with..... I wonder how good the federation is when the leaders talk so much crap

I think Digvijay Singh is simply being ridiculous. Abhinav Bindra even paid for his ticket to Beijing! Rather than retrospecting and finding out the reasons why India is not able to produce champions, Digvijay Singh is trying to pull down the people who have the guts and luck to win a medal even after pathetic sporting enviroment in the country. It would have been much better had Digvijay Singh put these champions on the board and learn a thing or two from them. He and his incompetent team has no right to stay put. Had it been a corporate entity, Digvijay and many others would have been simply fired from the job. Perform or perish. Perform or get the hell out of there. That should be the norm. It's not Abhinav and Rana who are ungrateful, but you Mr. Digvijay who are simply being thankless for the lads who won laurels for the country. Thank them and learn from them and accept your incompetency and failure.
