J&K Orders Probe into Santosh Trophy Team Selection

J&K Orders Probe into Santosh Trophy Team Selection

The Jammu and Kashmir government has set up a committee to look into how players were chosen for the Santosh Trophy football tournament.

Some people, like the BJP, say the selection was unfair because only one player from the Jammu region was picked.

The committee has seven days to find out if this is true.

The Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah, said if most of the players were not Muslim, there wouldn't be any complaints.

The committee includes sports officials and players from both Jammu and Kashmir regions.
