Kozhikode: PT Usha MP recounted the respect and insults he received in the past. Usha said that it was a great honor for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to call him and ask him to take the post of MP.
In 1985, when he won five gold medals at the Jakarta Asian Track and Field, the people of Kozhikode gave him a warm welcome at the Mananjira Maidan. The reception was repeated in 86 and 87. Respected and loved many times. So many times I have been crucified and grieved for what I did not know. In 1986, when Seoul achieved a historic feat with four gold medals, an advertisement was taken. The students of Kozhikode Law College took out a mock procession in protest. These commercials became a source of income for many stars later on. In 88, when he was not able to perform well due to injury, he threw mud at Nambiar sir and himself. He was insulted by pelting stones at the house and forcefully grabbing him from the car. When he returned in 1989 with four golds and two silvers, he was welcomed. The children of Usha School also did not forget the strike when they competed in the sports fair. Drishya Nava Madhyam in Kozhikode was crucified when a child lost an opportunity because of a decision he was not a part of. When Kozhikode got land under the scheme of providing free land to sportspersons who have won multiple medals at the international level to build houses in their own country, false propaganda was spread against it. This place has not yet been named after him. But Usha also said that he has great love for the people of Calicut who consider his achievements as their own.
Coach O.M. Usha started the speech by remembering Nambiar.
