The sports ministry has decreed that neither India Taekwondo (IT) nor Taekwondo Federation of India (TFI) fulfil the criteria to get recognition as a national sports federation. The ministry took this decision after it was asked by the Delhi High Court to decide on the claims by both the bodies as the rightful custodian for the sport of taekwondo in the country.
