Mr Barve . He stated that Mr Barve should make
allegations based on facts. Mr Balakrishnan stated
that he had earlier stated in a previous meeting that
Mr Barve should be banned for going to the press and
he should be debared for this. He insisted that this
should be recorded in the minutes. Mr. Pinto stated
that in this case his comments that trying to stop
people from expressing their views would amount to
trampling on their constitutions Right to Freedom of

court action, should also be recorded. Several members
critised Mr. Barve saying that he should not have made
comments he made.

tournament. Mr. M.R.Naik made the plea that all issues

which will make quality coaching affordable to even
the financially weak players.

Shivaswamy.
There is no mention of the cause for which you have
issued me this notice.
The statement that AICF makes about Rs.4 to 5 crores
annually and is not pumping sufficient money bank into
the game are not my words at all. Those words should
be attributed to Gomantak Times.

reconsider the circular
