You also attempted to portray an incorrect representation of the Minutes of the meeting of the Special Committee," Khanna wrote in his email.

"Moreover, depart alone the truth that you chose to not include me within the Special Committee to spot the areas of difficulty but you had even constituted the Special Committee unilaterally against the instructions of the General Body where it have been determined that you simply and the Honorary Treasurer would collectively represent the committee. If a choice is needed to be taken by means of a group of other people, mutual trust becomes very treasured commodity, if it is two other people or all the General Body. Your actions and habits eroded that trust.
"The members implicitly trust the Hon'ble Court and therefore put their perspectives before the Hon'ble Supreme Court for consideration. Your subsequent recording of the draft Minutes of the SGM used to be additionally no longer in good spirit. Each member and office bearer here's a revered citizen in his/her personal proper. Dismissing them and being non-communicative with office bearers doesn't work neatly for any organization. As such it would be unsuitable to think that others have no longer performed their tasks and legal responsibility," Khanna stated.

Further, you have unilaterally appointed observers and other appointees for the India- New Zealand series. You are expected not to repeat this for the India-Sri Lanka series and follow the past practice and protocol of appointments for the same after obtaining prior approval from me, unless mandated by the COA," he wrote.
Replying to Choudhary's claim that Khanna doesn't take much passion in cricket matters and in addition answerable for BCCI's heavy spending on IPL tickets. "It is very easy to lay the idea of the proposal for purchase of IPL tickets at my feet but then it was possibly incorrect of me to expect you to present the facts correctly. This was a proposal that had the backing of the IPL chairman as well and I did not see either you, Shukla Ji or Anirudh Ji objecting to the same. It was also not the case that I was initiating this process, the same has been done many times in the past, in the best interest of the BCCI. Needless to say, even in your tenure as an elected office bearer also the same practice was followed."

There have been events that experience necessitated my communique about the same. I'm happy that you simply brought the topic of the passes in the case of Apple. You will take note of the truth that though you're looking at a possible long term partnership with Apple, we lately have a partnership with Oppo and with Vivo!
"I in my view don't see any reason for us to oblige the competition of our partners. I worth partnerships be it on behalf of a company or on my private behalf. However, like I stated earlier, it used to be your quota and you might be free to come to a decision easy methods to distribute the same. If you feel this is very best for BCCI, you might be free to have your opinion. However, all office bearers have their very own rightful reviews of what is in the most productive passion of the BCCI," Khanna stated within the letter.
