Central government did hungama when PV Sindhu and Sakshi Malik won medals at Rio Olympics. Many private and also government channels telecasted the games which Indian players played and also other prominent games, but no TV channel including Doordarshan is telecasting Paralympics. Apparently, this has bothered mega hero Varun Tej.
'Shame that no TV channel in India is telecasting the #Paralympics. Forget the private channels, but what about Doordarshan founded by our government?' stated Varun Tej.
Entire national and local media telecasted various programs lauding the medalists for few days, but focus is far less on the ongoing Paralympics and the winners. Is this the respect we are giving for gold medalist Mariyappan Thangavelu and bronze medalist Varun Singh Bhati.
The TV channels want high TRP ratings, whereas Paralympics are not at all money-spinners according to their calculations. But, the fact is the winners created interest over the ongoing mega sports event and are searching for next games India is participating in.
Few state and central governments were in hurry to announce crores of rewards for the Rio Olympics, congratulating the winners is the best thing the political biggies could do so far the Paralympics winners.
