New Delhi, Nov 29:
The Delhi and Districts Cricket Association ombudsman Justice (Retd) Badar Durrez Ahmed today accepted senior journalist Rajat Sharma’s resignation from the position of DDCA President, nearly a fortnight after putting a stay on it.
Sharma had resigned on November 16, citing “various pulls and pressures” within the organisation.” His resignation was stayed by Ahmed a day later but has finally been accepted after a fresh request from the media personality.
“I wrote to him in the morning and told him to relieve me of my responsibilities,” Sharma told PTI.
In his letter to Ahmed, Sharma stated that he could not continue in an organisation, which is in a “chaotic” state.
“I resigned on November 16 from post of President DDCA for the reasons stated in the letter. I however continued to honour the directions of the ombudsman and later reiterated by the High Court. However, the situation in DDCA is completely chaotic and I find it impossible to continue any further as President,” he wrote.
Sharma’s nearly 20-month tenure was a tumultuous one marred by public differences with general secretary Vinod Tihara, who enjoys a fair amount of support base in the organisation. (PTI)
