Fauja Singh

Punjab Horticulture Minister Fauja Singh Sarari resigned from Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's cabinet on Saturday, months after an audio clip surfaced in which he was allegedly heard "fixing a deal to extort money".

Amid the ongoing controversy and opposition attack demanding Punjab Health Minister Chetan Singh Jouramajra's resignation, state cabinet minister Fauja Singh Sarari on Saturday took note of the incident and apologisedon behalf of him.

The 104-year-old Fauja Singh will be participating in his second Mumbai Marathon on Sunday and it's a story of an athlete who has been inspirational for one and all.

A 92-year-old US grandmother has become the oldest woman to finish a marathon, when she crossed the finish line of a San Diego 26-miler on Sunday, race organizers said.

103-year-old Fauja Singh, the world's oldest marathon runner, has asked people of all faiths to join a peace marathon in the UK saying people should be fighting injustice, poverty and hatred, not each other.

Singh is currently visiting the country for the first time and has been invited to participate in the opening ceremony of the Australian Sikh Games this year. He will be participating in a run tomorrow which has been organised for a charity for children. He is also going to be felicitated by the New South Wales Parliament next week.

The centenarian, who was a farmer in his home state of Punjab before settling in England, began running at 89 and has since completed nine 42-kilometre (26 mile) marathons in London, Toronto and New York.

A 101-year-old Sikh believed to be the world's oldest marathon runner said on Thursday he felt sad to be retiring from competitive events, as he prepared for his last race this weekend.

Although widely regarded as the world's oldest marathon runner, Guinness World Records has not certified him as such since Singh cannot prove his birthdate. He has said there were no birth certificates when he was born.

Fauja Singh's diet includes grains, green vegetables, yogurt, tea and ginger. He avoids fried foods, including Punjabi delicacies like samosas and pakoras.

Thousands of vegetarian meals will be served along the route of Olympic Torch Relay to celebrate the 101-year-old London-based marathon legend Fauja Singh, who will carry the torch on July 21 when it reaches Newham, near the Olympics Stadium.

Born in 1911 and affectionately nicknamed the "Turbaned Torpedo", Fauja Singh finished the Hing Kong race in just over one hour and 34 minutes, organisers said, raising HK$200,000 ($25,800) for the charity Seeing Is Believing.

Punjab's new party with a difference, People's Party of Punjab (PPP), has landed itself in trouble with the coach and family of 100-year-old marathoner Fauja Singh on Wednesday seeking compensation of Rs.100,000 from it for his "political misuse" in the run-up to the January 30 assembly polls.

His marathons at the ripe old age of 100 may not have been recognised by Guinness World Records on technical grounds, but Punjab-born British citizen Fauja Singh says the only thing he cares about is to keep running.

He is much like any other successful marathon runner. An amazing stamina and an equally dedicated fan-base. At 100 and still running though, Fauja Singh is also a marathoner like no other. The Indian born British citizen was in Chandigarh on Tuesday and told NDTV that he is addicted to running.
