GUESS WHO HOLDS THE INDIA’S HAND AT TROUBLE TIME

GUESS WHO HOLDS THE INDIA’S HAND AT TROUBLE TIME, THANKS PAK!!

The Malaysian and Botswanian teams today joined the ranks of those complaining against the state of affairs in the Commonwealth Games Village, while the South African envoy cried “a threat to the lives of athletes” after a snake was found in one of the rooms allotted to the country’s sportspersons.

However, there was good news on at least one front for the beleaguered Commonwealth Games officials: Pakistan. Not only have officials from the country given a thumbs-up to the arrangements and security preparedness for the Games, but also accused “Westerners” of being overly critical.

“We have been given complete assurance by the organisers and our security liaison officer is in India at the moment. We trust the Indian government to provide full protection, and we have no security concerns. Hopefully our entire 75-member contingent will be in India on the 29th as planned,” Pakistan Olympic Association president Syed Arif Hasan told The Indian Express on Sunday.
