Mujeeb stays as ICA head despite end of term

Islamabad, Oct 20: Chairman Pakistan Cricket Board ad hoc committee Mujeebur Rehman who was elected as president of Islamabad Cricket Association (ICA) continues to hold the post despite the completion of tenure on Jan 6, 1998.

According to a press release issued by the former secretary of ICA, Jawadul Hassan, Mujeeb made no reservations that anyone trying to oppose him will face dire consequences during the ICA General Council meeting convened nearly seven months after the completion of his first tenure at Islamabad Club.

The former ICA official said that since most of the clubs affiliated with ICA are run by government officials, the fear of victimisation kept them mum over some of the unconstitutional actions taken by the present head of PCB ad hoc committee.

Jawad had to pay the price of voicing protest against Mujeeb. The former secretary said that it was very interesting to note that while various associations were being restored by Mujeeb he never restored Islamabad.

The former secretary called upon the authorities to act swiftly in changing the non-technical and dictatorial set up created by Mujeeb, whose hand-picked puppets were running the show.
