Coup in INOC (I) USA
Shudh manages to oust George
NEW YORK (TIP): The 82 year old Dr. Karan Singh has done it again. This time, not from New Delhi but sitting in New York.
He has announced appointment of Shudh Jasuja as President of INOC (I) USA as dramatically as he had given marching orders to Dr. Surinder Singh Malhotra a year ago and inducted George Abraham as President.
The announcement effecting the change of guard was made by Dr. Singh at a reception to honor him at a Flushing banquet hall June 20.
George Abraham who was yet a year to go before his term ends.
It is learnt that the INOC (I) USA is divided right in the
middle following the announcement. There was a lot of tension and the supporters
of Shudh Jasuja and George Abraham were heard exchanging hot words. The agitated
supporters of George Abraham tried to stop Dr. Singh's car as he was
leaving and shouted repeatedly Karan Singh Murdabad. Some said a huge payment
was made to Mohan Singh, Senior Private Secretary to Dr. Karan Singh to secure
his good offices to recommend Shudh Jasuja's appointment. It may be recalled
that Dr. Malhotra too had leveled allegations of bribes to the same person when he was
removed as President.
Supporters of Shudh Jasuja were said to be greatly elated
and shouted Karan Singh Zindabad, Shudh Jasuja Zindabad. Clearly, the lines are
drawn unless one of the two sides decides to surrender meekly which probably is
not going to happen. It will be interesting to watch in the next few days the course
the INOC (I) USA politics will take
