New Delhi, Dec. 1 (PTI): Five-time world champion M C Mary Kom has resigned as the national observer for Indian boxing after Sports Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore made it clear that active sportspersons will not be considered for the position. "I resigned as national observer 10 days ago after having a word with Mr Rathore. I had been requested to take up the position, it was not something I had asked for," Mary Kom, who claimed her fifth Asian Championships gold medal in November, told PTI on Friday. Of these, Sushil and Mary Kom are still active in their respective sports. I am happy to let it go and have no complaints," said Mary Kom.
