National Federation - Latest News Update, Information, Photos & Videos on National Federation at Lokmat Times

In the mail, Buampane has said that the endeavour to see an end to internal problems in the Gymnastic Federation of India (GFI) is something that even the FIG stresses on and that is why it has tried to support the IOA."Firstly, we would like to stress that Good Governance and Fairness in Sport are not empty words for us, but something we constantly fight for. It is in this spirit that over the last years, we have tried to support our National Federation in India (GFI) and helped to solve their internal problems, which seem to be never ending. It is in this sense that we have also as far as possible supported the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) in this endeavour."We have threatened GFI twice to suspend them, should they not organise elections in time and respecting their statutes. We shall suspend them, should they not hold their elections as agreed. We are therefore grateful to the IOA and their respective committee to have undertaken this very important step in cooperation with and the support of GFI," the mail read."We very much regret the ongoing fighting within GFI which seems to have started with the query concerning the Secretary General who was replaced against his will. Such internal tensions and court cases are always to the detriment of the athletes and destroy the common efforts for development of the whole gymnastics family in India. We sincerely hope, that with the new elections, this shall now come to an end."In the letter to Buampane, Joint Secretary of Sports Ministry Inder Dhamija had further stated that Sudhakar Shetty and GFI would both attract penal action under the law in the event they use the Indian flag or show the team representing India in the World Championship.( With inputs from IANS )
