A delegation of the Indian Olympic Association will meet the sports secretary on Friday to discuss the suspension imposed by the International Olympic Committee and chalk out a plan of action to return to the Olympic fold.
‘A delegation headed by Abhay Singh Chautala will meet Secretary of Sports on 7th of December at 12 noon to discuss the issue and decide the plan of action’ an IOA statement said.
IOA has already constituted a two-member committee of R K Anand and Narinder Batra to clarify the position of IOA to IOC and also state the actual facts on the entire development which was misrepresented before IOC. ‘The newly elected executive council committee is committed to the welfare and development of the sport persons and we assure whatever possible will be done to resolve the issue created by IOC’, the statement said.
‘The athletes interest will be protected at any cost on priority basis. We will also ensure that Indian sportspersons will and shall compete with the pride of the National Flag and nothing less’, it said.
IOA will soon form a special committee to hold discussions with the government and the International Olympic Committee to resolve the code issue in the wake of the suspension order. IOA, which went ahead with its controversial elections yesterday despite the suspension order from IOC, also has plans to meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and seek his intervention to drop the government's sports code.
