Kunjarani's outburst unwarranted, sponsored: Malleswari

December 08, 2011 12:29

Olympic medallist Karnam Malleswari has shot back at Kunjarani Devi for putting her weight behind the Indian Weightlifting Federation, saying her
compatriot's view regarding the current office bearers of IWF is "unwarranted and sponsored".

"The outburst of my compatriot (Kunjarani) on this issue after a period of hibernation is unwarranted and sponsored especially when the concerned office bearers (of IWF) are silent. As per the legal saying, their mere silence amounts to acceptance," Malleswari, country's lone Olympic medallist lifter, said in a rejoinder to IWF and Kunjarani yesterday.
