The legendary track and field athlete, who was elected as the first woman president of the IOA in its 95-year long history in December last year, told the revolting EC members – led by IOA’s senior vice president Ajay H Patel and joint secretary Kalyan Chaubey – that they cannot issue termination orders of any of the IOA staff as per their “whims and fancies”.
