50 sports associations to the court against the new sports act
50 sports associations have decided to go to court against the dictatorial new sports bill presented by the sports minister.
To read the new Sports Act, refer here.
It is reported that more than 50 sports associations in Sri Lanka have strongly objected to the many amendments that have already been included in the Sports Act.
They say that they will file a case in the Supreme Court against the sports minister’s dictatorial orders.
The sports associations claim that the amendments to this sports act have been made based on the wishes of a few people who are trying to send the sport to the bottom of the country and to fulfil their personal desires.
Accordingly, many sports associations such as cricket, rugby, football, karate, National Olympic Committee, and tennis have decided to enter a judicial process against these amendments.
