Around 25 sportspersons held a protest meeting today at Calcutta Sports Journalists Club demanding Pinki Pramaniks release. I know her (Pramanik) since 2001. She is such a fine athlete. One must remember that this is not the way to treat a woman who has done the country proud by winning international medals, said former athlete and Asian Games gold medallist Jyotirmoyee Sikdar.
Swimmer Bula Chowdhury concurred. Its a shameful incident which should be protested. We as sportspersons feel humiliated as the police is harassing her just because someone has filed a complaint against her. And the administration is keeping quiet.
Former footballer and Arjuna awardee Shanti Mullick said: Its surprising that the person who has complained against her (Pramanik) has not been questioned (by the police). The veracity of her motives has never been verified.
