Indian Olympic Association (IOA) chief P T Usha on Tuesday defended her decision to appoint an ad-hoc committee for boxing, saying the national federation failed to fulfil its “fundamental responsibilities” in the last one year and her action was necessary to “restore order and ensure proper governance”. Her statement came in response to IOA vice president Gagan Narang’s letter on February 28 in which the former Olympic bronze-winner accused her of issuing “arbitrary” orders and undermining athletes’ welfare. Usha’s steadfast position is despite the Delhi High Court’s stay on the IOA’s order. The court issued notice, seeking IOA’s response to a petition filed by the Boxing Federation of India (BFI). “…there is no truth in your (Narang) assertion that athletes are suffering due to this decision or any alleged arbitrary actions on my part. The decision to appoint an ad-hoc Committee was not arbitrary but a necessary step to restore order, ensure proper governance, and prioritize athlete development,” Usha said in her reply to Narang, who is also a member of the IOA’s …

The IOA had constituted a five-member ad-hoc panel led by Madhukant Phatak to oversee daily affairs of the BFI last month. The panel also included Rajesh Bhandari, DP Bhatt, Shiva Thapa, and Virendra Singh as members.
