Flag fiasco in Delhi (II)

Letter October 05, 2010
In any opening ceremony the flag is given to one of your best competitors and Shuja was rightfully awarded the honour.

KARACHI: In the previous Commonwealth Games, Pakistan won only one gold and that was by Shuja Malik. In any and every opening ceremony, the flag is given to one of your best competitors and Shuja was rightfully awarded the honour. Nowhere will you find a manager or official holding the flag but the ridiculous Dr Shah did just that in the opening ceremony of the Games in New Delhi.

The MQM should ask him to resign from his post of Sindh sports minister for making a laughing stock of the nation and abusing his authority.
