NRAI backs IOA's CWG boycott proposal

New Delhi : The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) on Sunday said it supports the Indian Olympic Association's proposal to boycott the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham for excluding shooting from the roster.

NRAI secretary Rajeev Bhatia said they are on the same page as far as boycotting of the Games is concerned.

"We are with the IOA. Of course, we back their proposal to boycott the Games. We are part of the IOA as one of the NSFs (National Sports Federations)," Bhatia said.

"The IOA president has done a good job and we support whatever steps the IOA takes," he added.
