''

IN an unexpected move, IOA President Narinder Batra wrote to Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju on Saturday, proposing a boycott of the Games and sought permission from the government on the removal of shooting snapshot from the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. Earlier, the IOA withdrew its name from the general assembly of the CGF to protest the expulsion of the shooting, which is scheduled to be held in Rwanda in September.

The IOA had also withdrawn the names of Rajiv Mehta for the post of Regional Vice President and Namdev Shirgaonkar as a member of the Sports Committee. "We are naturally disappointed that our colleagues in India have decided not to come to the 2019 CGF General Assembly in Rwanda with other Commonwealth nations and regions, especially because of the future strategic direction of the Commonwealth Games campaign here.'

Batra denounced the CGF for its "anti-India mentality" in proposing a boycott of the 2022 Games. He also said that every time India performs well, efforts are made to change the rules. He also said that India is not a slave to any country.
