I have been denied an award again, says London Paralympics silver medallist H N Girisha

London Paralympics silver medallist H N Girisha is sad that the sports ministry has denied him the Khel Ratna award this year. Shooter Ronjan Sodhi's recommendation for the award has angered Girisha and Commonwealth Games gold-medallist discus thrower Krishna Poonia. Both have slammed the selection procedure. According to reports, Sodhi's name was not there when the majority of members decided to vote for the Khel Ratna awardee but brought back later for consideration.
