Sir, After reading

(12 June), I would like to add that Rohan B. played his best for the past 2-3 years to qualify for the Olympics. Leander Paes had the same opportunit­y. If age is a factor in not letting him participat­e in the Olympics, he needs to retire. He cannot keep popping up at show events (grand slams and the like) and suddenly claim heritage and ask to be nominated on the basis of that. Next he should be a Congress MP for Rajya Sabha. Rohan should have a say in who he partners with and wants to be on the court with. The AITA has the combined spine of a jellyfish. They cannot be expected to do the right thing and Rohan has every right to voice his opinion and expect that it be given a fair hearing.
