IOC suspension of IOA a black day for India: Chautala

"Randhir is a traitor. He conspired against the nation, its spokespersons. Being an IOC official he should have helped the country, but he had vested interests and put the country in such a mess today," Chautala alleged during a press conference here.

"It's a black day for the country," he added.

Holding Randhir responsible for the national Olympic body's suspension, Chautala said the veteran sports administrators should immediately resign from his post in IOC.

"He should immediately resign from his post and he and the government are to be blamed for the current mess which led to IOC suspending India.

"And tomorrow, in our AGM, we will take the house into confidence and pass a resolution demanding Randhir's resignation. He will not be a part of the IOA again," Chautala said.

"We will also write a letter to the IOC saying that Randhir should be immediately removed as member there because IOA has passed a resolution against him."

He said the IOC's decision to impose the ban on a "democratic country" like was not correct.

"It's an unfortunate incident that a democratic country like India has been banned by IOC. The decision taken by the IOC is not at all correct. MORE
