In support of star Odia sprinters Srabani Nanda and Amiya Mallick, whose dream of Rio Olympics was shattered due to the callousness of the Sports Authority of India (SAI) and the Delhi State Athletics Association (DSAA), BJD Rajya Sabha members Bhupinder Singh and Dilip Tirkey on Monday said they would raise the issue in Parliament on Tuesday,
at the Indian Grand Prix that robbed the young athletes of Rio qualification,.
Tirkey, a former captain of Indian Hockey team, has given a notice in this regard. Singh, who wrote a letter to the Union Sports Minister demanding a re-test of running of both runners, also said that he would join Tirkey in raising the issue in the Rajya Sabha.
