Kiren Rijiju, Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports, has lauded the Indian shooters for their unprecedented medal haul at the ISSF World Cup. “The number of medals that our shooting team has won is commendable and I congratulate the entire team for the outstanding performance,” Rijiju told reporters after meeting the team here. Talking about the issue, Rijiju said, “India is one of the most important nations in the Commonwealth Games Federation and excluding shooting from 2022 has upset all of us. I have already written a letter so let’s see, the IOA will meet me again.” ‘Not right’ Commenting on WADA’s suspension of India’s only accredited anti-doping laboratory for six months, Rijiju said, “WADA didn’t do the right thing by suspending NDTL. When I took over, I was told there were some issues but they were almost sorted and when they got sorted then they suspended it, so it is not right, we are appealing against it.” Rijiju also promised to provide all help to the shooters and improve the facilities at the Dr. Karni Singh shooting range in New Delhi.
