Former Sports Minister Anurag Thakur has been granted the opportunity to contest the Boxing Federation of India’s (BFI) presidential elections after the Himachal Pradesh High Court stayed his disqualification from the Electoral College. The court also directed the BFI to extend the nomination deadline, ensuring his eligibility to file his candidature. Thakur, a Lok Sabha MP from Hamirpur, was previously ruled ineligible in a March 7 notification issued by BFI President Ajay Singh. The reason cited was his lack of an elected position within the Himachal Pradesh Boxing Association (HPBA), which he sought to represent in the electoral process.
