"Look, there is no doubt that Pramod Bhagat is our star athlete but the target of 25 medals that we have set is from our current contingent of 84 players. Pramod Bhagat is not included in this," the two-time Paralympics gold medal-winning javelin thrower Jhajharia stated.

Pramod Bhagat, the Tokyo gold medallist para shuttler, has been suspended for 18 months due to his failure to provide information about his whereabouts. As a result, he will not be able to participate in the Paris Paralympic Games.
