Maken has crossed limits of decency: IOA

November 10, 2011 13:18

The Indian Olympic Association today lashed out at Sports Minister Ajay Maken for saying that he has no faith in the IOA when it comes to handling huge
amount of money with the body's acting-President Vijay Kumar Malhotra demanding a withdrawal of the statement.

Blaming the minister for playing a double game, the IOA warned him that these cheap tactics are going to boomerang on him sooner than later.

"Exuberance does not mean that one should cross limits of decency. One has to temper with his language," the IOA acting president Vijay Kumar Malhotra said.

Maken had claimed that the Government has no faith in the IOA and the sports organisation cannot be trusted to handle big amounts.
