In T-42 event at the Rio Paralympics 2016, while Mariyappan Thangavelu, with a jump of 1.89 metres made history by becoming the first Indian high-jumper to win a gold at the Paralympics, Varun Singh Bhati bagged a bronze with 1.86 metres to finish third.No matter the politicians, sports personalities and film stars are expressing thier joy over the men’s high jump glory at Paralympics, irony that hurts, these games aren’t getting telecasted in Television.
Sony holds the telecasting rights of Paralympics but the company is very much ignorant on the competition for physically disabled.Mega Prince, Varun Tej is one of those who expressed his unhappiness over this.
“Shame that no TV channel in India is telecasting the Paralympics.Forget the private channels but wt about doordarshan founded by our government?” Varun went furious via Twitter.
