Hooda Protests for Haryana to Host or Co-Host 2030 Commonwealth Games
Congress MP Deepender Hooda led a protest outside Parliament demanding that Haryana be made the host or co-host of the 2030 Commonwealth Games. He cited Haryana's significant contribution to India's recent Commonwealth Games success, winning seven of 13 gold medals, and criticized the lower sports funding Haryana received compared to other states. The 2030 Games are currently planned for Ahmedabad, Gujarat, but Hooda and fellow Haryana MPs urged the Centre to reconsider the venue to recognize Haryana's sporting achievements.
