NEW DELHI: A day after Indian Olympic Association's (IOA) president PT Usha alleged that the association's executive council (EC) members had failed to organise a felicitation function for the Paris Games medallists, the sports body's treasurer Sahdev Yadav said on Tuesday that her accusation was a "blatant lie". He said that there was neither any discussion nor a proposal in writing for organising such an event.
India won six medals, including a silver by javelin star Neeraj Chopra and two bronze by shooter Manu Bhaker, in Paris.
