New Delhi: The Supreme Court today asked the Himachal Pradesh government over its alleged refusal to provide job to an Asian Games gold medalist under the sports quota, do you encourage sportspersons in this way? In this regard, Justice Abhay S. A bench of Justices Oka and Augustine George Masih took exception to the fact that 2014 Asian Games gold medalist Pooja Thakur had to wander from place to place for years for her job.
Today the bench said, “Is this how you encourage the players?” Someone has won a gold medal in the 2014 Asian Games, your Chief Minister should have a practical approach…this is the state's approach towards sportspersons?”
