NEW DELHI: Double Paralympics gold medallist, Devendra Jhajharia, has decided to contest the Paralympic Committee of India’s (PCI) elections for the president’s post, setting the stage for another celebrated sportsperson to helm an Indian sports federation.
The PCI is currently under suspension by the sports ministry for its failure to hold elections on time. The ministry had called the delay as “willful and intentional’, which went against the principles of the national sports code resulting in non-compliance with guidelines.
