Speaking to the press after a meeting, Roudhan, who is also Minister of State for Youth Affairs, said that the government will pitch the suggestion to international federations to find out whether the changes to the sports law comply with global guidelines. “A document containing information on the suggestion will be sent to international federations,” he said.
