Earlier, the IOA had rejected the new National Sports Code draft and had also raised questions over many articles that are present in the newly crafted draft.
The newly crafted draft proposed changes in the original 2011 code. It included the barring of ministers, members of parliament and legislative assemblies from holding office in National Sports Federation and IOA.
It also focussed on tenure restrictions and age cap of 70 years. It also called upon the National Sports Federations(NSFs) to appoint CEO.
