"All the Federations with qualifiers will get needed support. We dont have all the money, but we have the commitment. "Let us know what you need and we will support you all the way.” The minister said. The minister explains the importance for dissolving the previous federation management. “The dissolution became necessary because of the expiration of your tenures. "It is also important because of the Tokyo Olympics which is less than 90 days away.This requires that all hands are on deck because continuity is necessary to ensure preparations for the Games are not hampered in any way. "The Caretaker Committees were thus specially selected to reflect our aspirations towards podium appearances at the Tokyo Olympics.”
