\"chautala\"New Delhi: Indian Amateur Boxing Federation (IABF) chief Abhay Chautala<\/strong> <\/a>on Thursday declared that he will turn down the honorary post of life president offered to him by the Indian Olympic Association<\/strong><\/a> only if told to do so by the IOC.<\/p>\n

Chautala and former IOA chief Suresh Kalmadi were offered the post by the national Olympic body on Tuesday which led to a huge uproar.<\/p>\n

The sports ministry had threatened to sever ties with the IOA if the decision was not reversed.<\/p>\n

Former Sports Minister Ajay Maken and International Hockey Federation (FIH) President Narinder Batra had also criticised the IOA’s decision.<\/p>\n

The controversy had prompted Kalmadi to turn down the post, but Chautala has decided to put up a show of defiance, asserting on social media that he will decline only if told to do so by the International Olympic Committee.<\/p>\n

“I will leave my position in IOA if IOC gives ruling against my holding the honorary post. President, IOA is likely to take it up soon with IOC,” Chautala tweeted.<\/p>\n
