CWG 2018 | PT Usha emulates Kabir Khan from Chak De, asks reporters not to focus on players regional identity
Legendary Indian athlete PT Usha has asked the Indian media to stop categorizing the athletes, who are participating in the ongoing Commonwealth Games, based on their regional identity. Usha’s tweet drew a great response from the general public as well as Sports minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore.
PT Usha, who had created history when she became the first Indian woman to enter the final of an Olympic event in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, is one of the most revered sporting figures in India. Nicknamed "queen of Indian track and field", Usha voiced her concern on Twitter asking the Indian media to stop
Not attacking the media/ anybody! Only requesting that with a power to influence minds, words should be chosen to promote harmony & unity. After all sports is what keeps us together. We are all the Tiranga, it represents the fire of every Indian& is their identity. Jai hind🇮🇳

Indian sports minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, who won the silver medal in shooting at the 2004 Athens Olympics, replied to Usha's tweet as he said, "India and Indians win each and every time our flag ???? goes up. @indiasports, @media_sai, states, and corporates provide facilities but we play for our country, our flag, one nation."
