National spirit eludes Mr India event
National spirit eludes Mr India event
Bijit Gogoi from Assam was in for a rude shock after he
won the National Body Building Championship Mr India title in Mumbai on Sunday.
As soon as the results were declared, Shiv Sena members who were supporting the
competition runner-up Sham Rahate started vandalising the venue.
They protested the results, saying Gogoi should not be declared the winner as
he was an "outsider".
"The supporters began vandalising the green room, saying I was from the
north east and hence not an Indian. I ran into the audience and sought
protection," Gogoi said.
Rahate has now said he will not lay claim to the title, but angry officials of
the Indian Body Building Federation say this is not enough.
The Federation has demanded an apology to Gogoi and may even recommend a ban on
Rahate.
Meanwhile, Gogoi is back in his home state, and in the true spirit of a
national champion, says he has put the experience behind him.
Shame on these people. People from other parts of the country should
understand one thing that if you want land then you have to accept the people
living on that land. I am sorry, they failed.
As
bijit/debojit is also a vocie of india or a part of india.
