guarantee

NEW DELHI: Acting on expected lines now that the elections are done and dusted, the Union government has tendered an unconditional guarantee to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) clearing the path for international tournaments to return to India.

The assurance ensures India stays within global norms against discrimination in sports, including for political reasons, and allows the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) to go ahead with its bids to host mega events, including the 2032 Olympics.
