No-confidence motion filed against Boxing Federation of India president Ajay Singh
Altogether 28 state units members on Thursday moved a ‘no-confidence motion’ against Boxing Federation of India (BFI) president Ajay Singh at the Special General Body Meeting here.
The disgruntled members, who raised objections over the validity of the amended BFI constitution among other issues, have sent copies of it to World Boxing, Indian Olympic Association and the Government of India.
The BFI sources claimed since proper procedure was not followed the move had no legal validity.
Earlier in August, Ajay was re-elected as the president of BFI for a third consecutive term after his comprehensive victory over Jaslal Pradhan in the long-overdue polls.

The elections, postponed by more than six months amid legal wrangling, were conducted in the presence of Returning Officer Rajesh Tandon and BFI interim committee head Fairuz Mohammed of Singapore, who was sent by World Boxing as its observer.
World Boxing President Boris van der Vorst and Secretary General Mike McAtee, who were originally set to be observers, did not attend the polls.
The Sports Ministry and the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) also didn’t send any observers.
