The Olympic Games to be held amidst a raging COVID-19 pandemic has bring out many oppositions against it. Japan is conducting the biggest sporting spectacle in Tokyo.

The major international multi-sport event will send out a strong message that the world is moving beyond the catastrophic situation, IOA President Narinder Batra on Saturday. The Tokyo Olympics was scheduled to be held last year, but got postponed because of the pandemic. The Indian Olympic Association President, who is also an International Olympic Committee member, is hoping that the Games will be held as scheduled, from July 23. Opposition to the Games will always be there still the country counter backs with the organizing committee of event. The chief added "But as far as Indian athletes are concerned we are taking all necessary precautions and have been preparing to the best of our abilities to put up our best-ever performance in the Olympic.” Batra's comment has come after critics from Japan on Friday submitted a petition, calling off for the Games. The petition, signed by around four lakh people was submitted to the IOC and International Paralympic Committee chiefs as well as Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike.

Amid all this chaos surrounding the event hosting, IOA chief also assured that the travel ban imposed on India by Japan wouldn't affect country's participation in the Games. This is a temporary travel ban made by the country but when it comes to Olympics, there are different protocols in place which a member nation has adhere to. In the end Batra assured all the accredited Olympics-bound Indian athletes that they will face no problem in entering Japan.
