"We think it is unfair, they have acted unilaterally based after hearing just one side of the story," the suspended IBF's President Matoria told PTI.
In a strongly-worded missive, the AIBA terminated India stating that it was not in a position to make a "proper" judgement on how to handle the country's case after receiving conflicting communications from various stakeholders.
