The government is as usual behaving in a cold
manner after all these achievements. The case of Lekha is the best example
of this arrogant behavior. Lekha won her Boxing Gold (80kg) hands down with
in 30 seconds.
Her Assam opponent didn’t even get time to gear up
before she was knocked down flat. The strategy to attack right from the
first second, worked.
K.C. Lekha is also the national champion. She
was one among the four who proved themselves at the World Championship held
at Delhi. When R.L. Geni of Mizoram scaled the same heights as Lekha, the
chief Minister of Mizoram himself called her to congratulate on the
achievement and she was also promoted to the post of SP of police from the
post of ASP.
But Lekha is still stagnating at the Assistant Grade
Post in the Secretariat. Lekha as many other Malayali Athletes had to go
through all types of suffering like poverty, lack of support etc to achieve
what she is now. It was sheer will power that brought her back to rings from
the grave injury she suffered which most people predicted would strangle her
career.
Lekha has every right to be treated in a more
respectable manner, Government and the sports associations must wake up
before the public do so.

Time to work out for the ultimate aim
