"

IOC Germany has written in the statement, "IOC Germany has not organized any program and neither of our members are seen in the picture of Suresh Nakhua. The members of IOC-Germany are true patriots and hold the values ​​and pride of our great country high. We have nothing to do with this person and the program of the Pakistani flag being waved.
