Ace Shuttler Saina Nehwal bashed at the Commonwealth Games Federation as her father Harvir Singh Nehwal was not allowed into the Games Village at Gold Coast.


In her series of tweets, Saina expressed her upset with the rude ignorance of CWG Federation, who cut her father's name as the 'official team' from entering the arena.







A day later, on Tuesday, the Indian Olympic Association responded to the 2010 CWG winner, Saina. In a tweet from IOA’s official account, the association said that Saina’s father, Harvir Singh, holds the position of an accredited Extra Oficial and the payment for the same does not include a bed at the Commonwealth Games Village.


IOA also attached a copy of the document which stated the that “the ETO service charge for an extra Team Official… does not include a travel grant or bed in the CGV.”
