Former BCCI president and a member of the anti-N Srinivasan group, I S Bindra, has lashed out at the Board's interim head Jagmohan Dalmiya for accepting what he termed an "illegitimate stop-gap" arrangement.
Bindra stated his views to a question posed to him about whether the BCCI has gone a decade back by appointing Dalmiya as the head of the interim group after the Sharad Pawar faction ousted him alleging misappropriation of funds. "I have no idea whether the Board has gone back in point of time but Mr Interim Board President has not done justice to the high offices he had held before namely President BCCI and President ICC by accepting an illegitimate stop-gap arrangement," Bindra wrote on his blog.
On the issue of having an independent legal system, Bindra was critical about Srinivasan appointing his "personal friend" Raghu Raman. "Earlier, there had been an appointment to create the independent legal system. But when Mr N Srinivasan took over, the role of ombudsman and legal counseling is being conducted by Raghu Raman, his personal friend," Bindra wrote.
