New Delhi: The All India Muslim Unity Front has demanded immediate removal of Indian Olympic Association (IOA) Chief Suresh Kalmadi in view of the “forced resignation of Mr. Nachiketa Kapur as deputy director general (DDG) protocol and Media in the Organising Committee of the Commonwealth Games and his association with anti national elements.”
Stating that its stand against Kapur had been vindicated following its memorandum to the Prime Minister against the appointment of Kapur, the Muslim Unity Front has now demanded that the entire matter relating to the appointment of Mr Kapur to such a sensitive post must be probed.
“We demand that the country top agency must look into the affairs of CWG 2010 following revelations against Mr Kapur whose earlier appointment as OSD was not approved by the Appointment Committee of the Cabinet” Front President Younus Siddiqui said.
The Ministry of Personnel had in Feb 2008 recommended that Kapur not be appointed to any post that deals with work of a sensitive nature.
“Kapur, a tenth class drop out, submitted fake degrees of graduation and got himself recommended for the post of officer on special duty (OSD) to the Ministry of Women and Child Development from where after the truth was discovered he was removed and even extraordinary memorandum was issued by ACC disapproving his appointment. Not only this, Kapur’s appointment was cancelled with retrospective effect from the date of recommendation as OSD,” Siddiqui said.
Siddiqui said that it is well known fact that Kapur had been actively involved in human trafficking and have indulged in anti national activities in the past. He is known for his lavish life style and also for his lavish diplomatic parties without any source of known income.
“It is here, the Front wants to know why IOA chief Suresh Kalmadi overlooked the recommendation of ACC and appointed Kapur as an office bearer in organizing committee of Commonwealth Games,” he said.
It is on these accounts that the role of IOA Chief Suresh Kalmadi for appointing Kapur to such a sensitive post raises a lot of suspicion and looks motivated as it would have given more power to Kapur to pursue his illegitimate activities, Siddiqui added.
