In another development, acting president CK Khanna received requisitions from 10 state units demanding a Special General Meeting at the earliest. As per the new constitution, the secretary — in this case the acting secretary — can call an SGM on 21 days’ notice but if it has to be an Emergent SGM within 10 days, the board president (acting president) in this case has to convene the meeting.
“It will be interesting what call Khanna will take. If I remember, he once didn’t sign the minutes of SGM fearing that it would be in violation of Supreme Court orders. On another occasion, he didn’t even attend an SGM,” a state unit member, who was present during both the meetings, said. Panaji, Jan. 14: Former Indian pacer S. Sreesanth on Monday took a dim view of sexist remarks made by cricketers Hardik Pandya and K.L. Rahul on a TV show even as he hoped the “match-winning players”, currently under suspension, will be back in action soon.
Sreesanth, however, said that there are others who have made “bigger mistakes” than the duo. “What happened was wrong. They (Pandya and Rahul) said some wrong things. But there are others who have made bigger mistakes than these but are still playing. They are in different fields and not only in cricket,” he said.
“Whatever happened was very bad. But at the same time, the World Cup is around the corner. Both Hardik and Rahul are good cricketers,” Sreesanth said. Responding to a query about his cricketing career, the fast-mediumpace bowler hoped the ban on his playing in the first class cricket would be lifted soon.
