Gold Coast,
\nOlympic bronze medallist shuttler Saina Nehwal has claimed that her father Harvir\u2019s name has been removed from the Indian team officials list for the Commonwealth Games, leaving her frustrated just before the start of the mega event.<\/p>\n
The Sports Ministry had stated that parents of Saina and Rio Olympics silver medallist P V Sindhu will be travelling to the Gold Coast Games at no costs to the government and were cleared to be part of the Indian contingent.<\/p>\n
\u201cSurprise to see that when we started from India for commonwealth games 2018 my father was confirmed as the team official and I paid the whole amount for that but when we came to the games village … his name was cut from team official category .. and he can\u2019t even stay with me,\u201d Saina wrote on her Twitter handle.<\/p>\n
A frustrated Saina said that her father\u2019s support is crucial for her during matches and tagged the Commonwealth Games Federation in her tweets.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wanted his support as I regularly take him for my competitions …but i didn\u2019t understand why nobody informed me all this earlier .. that he can\u2019t enter anywhere #CommonwealthGames2018.\u201d<\/p>\n
Saina\u2019s father Harvir Singh Nehwal and PV Sindhu\u2019s mother Vijaya are among the 15 individuals who, despite being cleared to be part of the Indian contingent, are not funded by the government for their travel, stay and other expenses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
