Shoot off letters
An angry Sports Ministry has shot off letters to Indian Premier League Commissioner Lalit Modi and the title sponsor of the tournament DLF, asking them to stop "misusing" the word India and comply with an Allahabad High Court order.
At the centre of the controversy is the "Building India" tagline in the DLF logo and the objection is to having it on the bowler's run-up area and on the passage leading to the presentation ceremony as well, where players frequently tread on them.
"Please appreciate that the matter in question involves deep public sentiments...with players running over it (the word India) hurts public sentiment and also tantamount to showing disrespect to the name of the country," the Ministry said in its letter to DLF chairman KP Singh.
Could you please explain to me what "shoot off" means here?
