Arjun Singh petition to IOC
by WhoAmI on Apr 24, 2007 06:16 AM

The Indian minister filed a petition to the international olympics committee seeking the following to ensure equality.

1) Indians having been ruled by foreigners for a long period, needed special reservations where they would run only the last 30 meters in the 100 meters race.

2) As Indians are used to claiming backwardness, IOC should start a reverse 100 meters race.

3) He also opined that the USA and China have won many medals so far due to their better training, facilities, physical fitness and determination and therefore, should only be allowed to compete in 10% of the games going forward.

It was also rumored that Mr. Singh also filed a petition to the UN demanding reservations for India to the security council citing numerous reasons along the same lines.
