The following response by Mr. Dayanand Narvenkar as reported by the Herald,
made interesting reading.He says in his statement “I will place my resignation
with the clubs, who will decide to accept or reject it”. In effect, saying
thathe is not going to resign and others have to decide whether or not he
should go!It is an interesting ploy indeed, knowing fully well that no cricket
affiliate of the GCA, dare say a word against Mr.Narvenkar. So in effect, he
does not have to resign! And there are many in the GCA, who will be ready to
take a fall for their dear boss!He might also come out and say, "in reality I
wanted to resign, but the GCA affiliates said, 'No, you should not!'"In the
e-paper edition of the Herald, he has blamed Chetan Desai, his right hand man,
and the secretary of the GCA.When the duplicate tickets scandal could not
dislodge Mr. Narvenkar, inspite of all the damning evidence, I am sure this
toois just a passing
phase!========================================================Narvekar dares Dr
Salkar
HERALD SPORTS REPORTER
PANJIM, DEC 27
Two days after a case of forgery, manipulation and cheating was registered
against Dayanand Narvekar and four others including wife Sushma and son
Ganeshraj, the Goa Cricket Association president spewed venom and dared Dr
Shekar Salkar to prove the charges.
Narvekar, addressing the media at GCA stadium Alto Porvorim on Monday, stated
that he would place the facts of the case, wherein Dr Salkar alleged that there
were different birth certificates with different birth dates of his son and
that they were registered very late, before the affiliated clubs at the special
general body meeting to be called next month. “I will place my resignation with
the clubs, who will decide to accept or reject it,” Narvekar claimed.
“I have registered the birth late, and as such I have followed the procedure by
filing an affidavit, which is normally done in such cases. I have done no
wrong. There could be over 30,000 such late registration cases in Goa. I am
innocent and the poor boy is unnecessarily being dragged into the allegation.
It amounts to character assassination. My wife, who has given another birth
date of my son, will explain it to the investigation officers later on,”
Narvekar stressed. “Calling it a conspiracy is totally uncalled for. Dr Salkar
is being vindictive and I am warning against proceeding as conspiracy,”
stressed Narvekar.
