Ajay, who is the brother of IOA presidential candidate Abhay Singh Chautala, shot off a letter to International Olympic Committee president Jaques Rogge stating that Randhir himself being an IOC member has violated the IOC Charter by approaching the Sports Ministry which has been pressing for the application of the Sports Code in the elections.
The IOC, on the other hand, has rejected the application of Sports Code in the elections, saying that it violates the Olympic Charter and autonomy of National Olympic Associations, and have directed the IOA to "exclusively" apply the IOC Charter and its constitution in the polls.
"I am to inform you that IOC member in India Mr. Randhir Singh is violating your instructions and IOC Charter approaching Secretary, Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports, Government of India on 14th November 2012 to seek clarification on his own candidature as per the National Sports Code," Ajay said in his letter to the IOC chief.
"Since he (Randhir) had a fear that being the secretary general of IOA for five consecutive terms, he may be declared ineligible for the post of president. This act of Mr. Randhir Singh clearly states that he believes and supports the National Sports Code formulated by the Government of India," he wrote. MORE
