We will soon obtain the unpaid amount of figures for 2020 and 2021 which will further expose the greed of the corrupt Sports Minister," the Congress leader said.Congress Spokesperson Swati Shet Kerkar said the government must not "torture" the sportspersons and demanded that all the pending payments should be released immediately.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
