Harbhajan, who is also a member of the Rajya Sabha, said that illegal activities are being done under the leadership of the President and it is against the transparency of cricket administration. Harbhajan said that he came to know yesterday that the Ombudsman has also received a complaint against the President.
Harbhajan stated that the core of the allegation is that the president is trying to give membership to around 150 people with voting rights in order to retain power and this is not approved by the apex council or the general body and all this is against the BCCI constitution. Harbhajan Singh’s letter says that the official meeting of the association is not even called to hide the irregularities.
Harbhajan, who played domestic cricket for Punjab, was a member of the Indian team that won the T20 World Cup in 2007 and the Indian team that won the ODI World Cup in 2011. Harbhajan retired from active cricket last year. Harbhajan Singh has played 103 Tests, 236 ODIs and 28 T20Is for India.
