Blame game in national game scene : N Ramachandran

Indian Olympic Association president N Ramachandran on Monday hit back at hockey India chief Narinder Batra by slapping him with Rs 10 crore defamation notice for allegedly damaging his reputation by his bribery charges even as the Hockey India President risked the IOA boss to litigate him in a court of law.Batra had suspected that during the IOA elections in 2014, he was offered by Ramachandran, through another person, Rs 1 crore every year he remains as president in return for supporting his candidacy.Calling the allegations made by Batra as ‘false and malicious’, Ramachandran has demanded Rs 10 crore in damages to be paid within 15 days along with an unconditional apology withdrawing the remarks or else he will take legal action under relevant laws.
