Suresh Kalmadi Time Score Contract Approved by Jarnail Singh
Prime Ministers representative
Updated – Saturday, May 21, 2011
Suresh Kalmadi was arrested in relation with time scoring contract.
Jarnail Singh also approved the contract.
Who is Jarnail Singh?
Jarnail Singh is the Prime Minister's appointee Jarnail Singh to the Sports Ministry.
He is the CEO of the Commonwealth Games Organizing Committee.
But CNN IBN got the letters which show that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's representative on the Commonwealth Games Organizing Committee, Jarnail Singh, knew and approved of the time scoring contract.
The letter shows Mike Hooper and Michael Fennell agreeing with the choice of Swiss Timing for the time scoring deal.
Jarnail Singh in letter said that "Selection of Swiss Timing was done by putting every stage through the highest level of scrutiny not only by the Organizing Committee Finance Committee which has Sanjeev Mittal, Joint Secretary, Rahul Bhatnagar from the Ministry of Sports but also by the empowered finance sub-committee set up by the government, which is chaired by Secretary, Urban Development,"
He further said that "The deal was approved by senior IAS officers in the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee. The deal was also approved by the finance sub-committee set up by the Government. The Organising Committee even managed to get a discount of Rs 26.35 crore from Swiss Timing in the deal,"
Now the question arises is that why Only Suresh Kalmadi was arrested in time scoring contract and not others who helped directly or indirectly to Suresh Kalmadi in this contract.
