Do you echo Aamir Khan's appeal in his show, Satyamev Jayate, that only sportspersons should run the sports bodies in India? What changes should come there in sports law?

In my opinion, an interior step would be to bring all sports bodies under the control of the Government of India. Despite various attempts, the Government has failed to bring privately running sports bodies which represent the country at an international level under its ambit. The Supreme Court in Zee Telefims case held by a 3:2 majority that BCCI is not a State. The rampant corruption, nepotism and favouritism has posed enough questions on the functioning of these sports bodies autonomously. There are several other advantages of taking this step, I am going to list a few here: - This would not only bring in more revenues for the government but will also ensure that it is equally distributed among all sports. - Talented athletes who are lost in the streets due to poverty will now have a platform and resources to prove themselves. - 'Other' sports will get the importance they have always deserved. The potential in other sports is gradually coming out in the fields. - The government will be answerable for any discrepancy in the money involved, thereby curbing corruption and involvement of black money. There are other reasons but these are the few off the top of my head. It may also curb sports betting or regulate it better. The unregulated betting industry causes huge revenue losses amounting in tens of crores. These sports bodies should then be headed by retired sports persons from whom we can expect a level of respect for the game and the corrupt practices (favouritism, nepotism) in sports can be curbed by them.
