Fearing serious repercussions, the Indian Olympic Association Wednesday asked the sports ministry to immediately resolve the controversy surrounding Kosovan boxer Donjeta Sadiku’s visa. In a strongly-worded letter to the sports ministry, IOA president Narinder Batra said that Sadiku’s non-participation in the Women’s World Boxing Championships beginning Thursday, could lead to India being barred by the International Olympic Committee from hosting major events. READ | Women's World boxing Championships: Kosovan boxer unlikely to get visa “It is required that immediate action is taken today by Indian authorities to make sure the athletes and delegation from Kosovo will be able to take part in the Women’s World Boxing Championships and will be treated in the same conditions as any other participants without any undue discrimination in accordance with the values and principles which govern the Olympic Movement worldwide,” Batra said in the letter. The IOA chief said that not granting visa to the lone Kosovo boxer could lead to the IOC asking all the international federations not to award major events to India.
