On the issue of the Djokovic controversy, Bhaskar contacted 2 Australian journalists.
World No. 1 tennis player Novak has been flown to Dubai on his first flight from Melbourne on Sunday after being held in a detention center in Australia for two weeks. He arrived in Australia dreaming of winning his tenth Australian Open title. If he had won the goal, he would have surpassed Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal's 20 Grand Slam titles, but controversy has marked his journey.
Dainik Bhaskar discussed with 2 Australian sports journalists to understand Djokovic's vaccine controversy. Christie Dora, a well-known sports journalist, said the local government wanted to prove itself vital by cracking down on Djokovic. Also, Jitarth Bhardwaj, an Indian-origin journalist living in Australia, said this was a public health issue, for which strict action was taken against Djokovic.
Why did the controversy over Djokovic start in Australia?
Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic has an anti-vaccine ideology. He did not take a single dose. Djokovic's playing and walking in public was dangerous for the general public, according to the Covid protocol imposed by the Australian government on his country. The whole controversy erupted when Djokovic's visa was revoked over the issue.
Allowed the Australian Tennis Federation to play
However, the Australian Tennis Federation also gave Djokovic the green signal to participate. Amid all this controversy, Djokovic sought the court's help, but the court made it clear that the central government had the right to revoke the visa. So we can't meditate in this. This forced Djokovic to leave Australia.
Let me tell you, Djokovic was kept in a travel detention center for about 1 to 2 weeks, which is a prison-like place.
