Indian para badminton controversy deepens: Gaurav Khanna hits back at Pramod Bhagat, calls allegations ‘misleading public narrative’

New Delhi India para badminton coach Gaurav Khanna has hit back at allegations that he deflated the players’ morale at the recent Asian Para Games with a social media post, saying that the charge is nothing but “a misleading public narrative” to discredit him for raising “documented irregularities” in selection issues. The controversy centres on Khanna’s now-deleted social media post which had predicted that India would finish with fewer medals than it had won in the 2022 edition of the Games.
