Former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh, who is also Punjab Cricket Association's (PCA) chief advisor, has alleged that the office bearers of the state cricketing body are involved in 'illegal activities' but refrained from naming names in an official statement accessed by Sports Tak.
Harbhajan sent the letter to members of the PCA as well as district units of the body. The Rajya Sabha MP also sent a detailed letter about these 'malpractices' by the current regime to CM Bhagwant Mann and Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) national convenor and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal.
"The crux of the matter is PCA is trying hard to induct 150 members with voting rights to tilt the balance in their favour and these inductions are being done without the assent of the apex council/general body or without consulting the Chief Advisor (Singh). Therefore, these are against the BCCI constitution, guidelines of PCA and violations of transparency and ethical norms of the sports bodies," he wrote in his letter.
"To hide their illegal activities, they are not organising formal meetings of the PCA and are taking all decisions suo moto which serve their selfish motives," he further added in the staunchly-worded letter.
When asked about his letter, Harbhajan told PTI, "I have been receiving complaints for a good 10-15 days about how the top functionary is going about its job. I have been appointed chief advisor and have been repeatedly kept in the dark about many policy decisions.
"Today, I was told that they have already taken membership subscription amount from 60- to 70 people. The process needs to be stopped immediately. I had no option but to individually write to the members and also inform the Chief Minister."
