Click to play videoNew Delhi: The controversy surrounding the continuation of Commonwealth Games scams accused Suresh Kalmadi, Lalit Bhanot and VK Verma in the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) had got murkier. The Ethics Commission passed an order suspending Kalmadi, Bhanot and Verma. But the order had been passed by a body that has been reportedly disbanded by the IOA.
So is the Ethics Commission's order suspending Kalmadi, Bhanot and Verma still valid? Why was the order made on December 6, 2011 but released only on January 22, 2012? What's the technical and legal status of Suresh Kalmadi in the IOA as of now? Is this just a campaign that's been launched to get rid of Kalmadi?
Ethics Commission Chairman Justice (retired) UC Banerjee said that as far he is concerned they are under suspension. He also hits back at the IOA saying that the Commission has not been disbanded
"You see I have read in the papers that the committee been disbanded but I have not been officially informed of anything," said Justice Banerjee.
He said he would continue to discharge his responsibilities as Ethics Commission Chairman.
"Unless I am informed that the commission has been disbanded I have no reason to think otherwise," he said.
He added that the order was not served on the same that day that it was passed as probably the IOA didn't want to send the notice in jail where Kalmadi, Bhanot and Verma were lodged.
