The Indian Olympic Association Secretary General Rajeev Mehta on Monday clarified that he has no difference of opinion with his president Narinder Batra on the boycott call of 2022 Commonwealth Games for dropping shooting from the roster.
Mehta said that he has been misquoted in some reports when he spoke about the issue of CWG boycott in an event in Chennai.
"I have been misquoted in the reports which are appearing. I have not said those words attributed to me. There is no difference of opinion (with the president) on the issue of 2022 CWG boycott call," Mehta told PTI.
"What I have said was, when there is any major decision to be taken, the Executive Committee and then the AGM takes the final call," he added.
Mehta also sent an e-mail to Batra, saying that he has been misquoted in the reports.
"As discussed, I am confirming again that I did not speak such sentences to any reporter. I was also equally shocked to see that article," he wrote.
"I only mentioned about EC (Executive Committee)... I am always with you."
