I am telling you with authority that there were dozens of fake members present in the meeting who participated in the elections,” Shambu Nath Sharma who heads Shastri Cricket Club Jammu and was the vice chairman of the JKCA till Monday told CNS. He said that how come it is possible that you don’t allow a working committee member to participate in the JKCA elections. “I was shocked after not finding my name in the list of the members that were due to participate in the working committee meeting on Monday. You will not believe that as the Vice Chairman of the JKCA, I participated in the Working Committee meeting at Fortune Hotel Jammu on March 4 this year that was presided by Dr Farooq Abdullah. It shocked me that those persons were entrusted the job to frame the list of members who are corrupt and are looting the money of the Association,” Sharma alleged. He said that the minutes for the Monday’s meeting and elections were prepared on March 4 meeting at jammu and his name was enlisted there at the top. “On whose behest I along with another club member was barred from participating in the elections is an open fact. I must tell you that these elections were fishy and manipulated,” he said. Life time member of JKCA who represents Muslim Cricket Club Sopore Javid Ahmed Kitab despite being the present vice chairman of the Association was also not allowed to participate in the Working Committee meeting on Monday. “Farooq Abdullah barred those members to participate in the elections who frequently raise the questions about the cricket scam. Farooq Abdullah did it all to hush up the scam and save the guilty,” Kitab told CNS adding that he never compromised with any one on the scam that marred Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association. (CNS)
