Congrats to Saina

As the sports minister met Saina Nehwal to congratulate her, he asked who Gopichand was? Correct me if I am wrong, but if you watched Saina's matches, you would have seen Gopichand as the coach. And as a sports minister, you may try to recollect that he has won a prestigious Badminton tournament less than 10 years ago, and is also the recipient of the nation's highest sporting honour, the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award. Given that we produce only one badminton great every decade, it should be easy to remember them?

PS: do you think Gill congratulated her for Bindra's gold or for her performance? just checking...

yet another moronic incident, but i really didn't expect this from Mr.Gill.

btw, i've read that Gopichand is building a world class Badminton academy in Hyderabad.
