I am inclined to accept the plea of CWG organizing committee. The members of an organization and those who are closely participating in the events do not need invitation. It is apparent that P.T.Usha, being part of the contingent as Luka's coach is an insider. Invitation is for outsiders.

Formal invitation is only to outsiders. One who participates in any way does not get invitation. I may explain this by an example. I expect invitation in friend's marriage but who will invite me to my sister's marriage?

It should not be like because of her ward Luka she can have a entry to the opening ceremony of the CWG. She has a reputation of her own.Her achievements must be respected. :) :)
This is what P.T Usha said in her interview.
"The only time that the Indian national anthem is played outside the country is when sportspersons like us win medals or when the Indian president visits. I checked up with quite a few former athletes like Vandana Rao, Jyotirmoyee Sikdar, MD Valsamma and none of them have been invited for the opening ceremony," she said.
She said that she heard from the media that KM Beenamol also has not been invited.
