Dr. Karan Singh, Vikramaditya decline to be patrons of JKOA | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Mar 11 : Rajya Sabha MP Dr. Karan Singh and PDP MLC and president J&K Basketball Association Yuvraj Vikramaditya Singh have declined to be the patron in Chief and patron of the J&K Olympic Association. Vikramaditya Singh in a statement issued to the press said that he was surprised to notice his name figure as the patron and that of his father as the patron in chief of JKOA published in the leading dailies of the state the previous day. "I am shocked that no one from JKOA ever approached me or my father to take our concurrence. I take strong exception to this blatant un authorized use of our names by the JKOA as I understand that these elections to the new body of the JKOA have been done in total contravention to the guidelines of J&K State Sports Council and the Indian Olympic Association. Further as I gather from the news paper reports that the JKOA elections have also been declared as null and void by the State Sports Council, I am of the firm opinion that we who are in public life and are doing our humble bit to contribute for the promotion of sports in the state have a bigger responsibility to abide by the law, rules, guidelines and procedures established therein. Hence in view of the circumstances confronting the JKOA, it would not be proper for me to be the patron of this sports body. I humbly decline to be the patron of the JKOA" the release said. |
