<!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo--> The gold medallistâs family is understood to have wondered whether leaders of political parties should also be on Bindra's calling list. As it is, the reasons for calling on the Speaker were not entirely clear, even though the air rifle champ did so despite there seeming to be no protocol requirement.
Gill was understood to be keen on Bindra calling on Sonia but when it was felt that it would be appropriate to also visit Advani, the minister was not very pleased. It is believed that Bindra's family felt that it would only be proper to call on the Leader of Opposition if India's first individual gold medallist was to go to 10, Janpath.
