Yogeshwar Dutt rejoices his victory

Ahead of the Rio Olympics 2016, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) made the decision that Bollywood actor Salman Khan was to represent the Indian contingent as the Goodwill Ambassador. However, this move made one man very unhappy and that was Yogeshwar Dutt.

The 2012 London Olympics bronze medallist had more than just a few words to say and was visibly miffed at the decision as he took to Twitter to bash the IOA on their choice.

The wrestler expressed his displeasure at the decision and tweeted in Hindi that could be roughly translated as "Someone tell me what is the job of an ambassador. Why are you making the country's people mad?"

The wrestler received mixed criticism on the tweet but he made sure that he had made his point on the decision.
