This THREAD will be hard for many para badminton players who firmly believe their blind allegiance to Gaurav Khanna only will continue advancing their careers - which is also partly true! Read on! /1
@GauravParaCoach is a Northern Railways employee working as a coach in Indian Para Badminton for many years now without reporting to a single nodal agency where his abuse or coercion tactics can be scrutinized. @BAI_Media @ParalympicIndia both have zero measures in place /2
@GauravParaCoach has for years run the scene as his backyard business and to this date controls all contracts, sponsorship opportunities and media opportunities of the handful players he holds hostage at his illegal academy in Lucknow! /3
Top para badminton players from India agree with me in private conversations that if they don't stay compliant with Khanna' s whims and fancies, they never make it past a point! /3
@bwfmedia has known this for over an year a d yet does shit about it because they claim they can't interfere in a member country's affairs /4
I have written to @bwfmedia in detail about the internal connection that Khanna maintains with a BWF employee called Shyami Sabron and how Khanna continues to manipulate the system with the help of their employee - yet the same shitty response from BWF was sent back to me /5
If @bwfmedia has the gall to call itself a world governing body for the sport, they should also have the guts to step up and call for a safe sport environment when one reports to them that there is coercion and corruption at play inside a member country's management of sport /6
@GauravParaCoach has complained in a conversation with me that others who have tried to seek accountability around how Khanna uses unrestricted access to @Media_SAI have also reached out to his employer @RailMinIndia to report against his misuse of his position /7
@GauravParaCoach - dude why shouldn't we ask for accountability from your employer when you double dip on every government rupee lying around? Also FYI: RTIs about Khanna have remained "lost" and unresponsive for months! /8
I have over 40 RTIs about Indian sportsying around in my RTI box and ONLY in Khanna's case, my first RTI application attracted a phone call from some random governmet official asking me what I want to know exactly - what a lousy way to tone set! /9
A one 'Top para badminton player with all media contacts in their pocket did confirm that Khanna controls the scene single handedly - and to ensure they don't burn their hay with too much heat, wants to stay silent until they something bigger worse shit can happen! Sad! END
