AFTER the tussle between the Indian Olympic Association president and the sports ministry over the affiliation of two different Indian Golf Union bodies, the parties are set to meet at the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium on January 21. According to a letter from the sports ministry on January 15, the IOA president and the executive council members have been invited along with presidents and secretaries of recognised National Sports Federations (NSFs).
It will be interesting to see how the meeting pans out especially after the strongly-worded letter by IOA president PT Usha to sports minister wherein she claimed sports ministry officials were misleading the minister.
