Kalmadi-led CWG Organising Committee a sham: Shunglu panel
April 1st, 2011 - 10:10 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, April 1 (IANS) The V.K. Shunglu committee has severely indicted former Commonwealth Games Organising Committee (OC) chief Suresh Kalmadi for running the OC “like a club” with very little accountability.
The two-member committee, in its sixth and last report made public Friday, said that “it appears there was no internal accountability framework for the OC chairman, as he could not be called to question in any governance forum in the OC” the report said.
The report said that it has found “material changes” in official documents by Kalmadi to get the post of OC chief and also to have sweeping administrative control over it.
The report, running into 103 pages, described the OC as a “sham society with much lesser accountability and transparency even in comparison to the Indian Olympic Association (IOA)”.
“We have therefore no hesitation in coming to the conclusion that a document (relating to appointment for CWG OC chairman) was created by Kalmadi or at his behest in IOA for being specifically used to secure his ends, i.e. Chairmanship of OC and justification for the commitments made by him at Montego Bay without any authority,” the report said.
