DORA Office, IIT Roorkee Date: June 03, 2020
Director IIT Roorkee Subject: A timeline-based brief account of developments from IITRAA EC Meeting dated Feb. 02, 2020
to illegal EC Meeting dated May 30, 2020 in which nomination of President, Mr Mohinder Nayyar was declared invalid against the bylaws of IITRAA.
Dear Prof. Chaturvedi, This pertains to the recent developments with respect to IIT Roorkee Alumni Association (IITRAA). As Dean of Resources and Alumni Affairs (DORA) I have been an Ex-Officio member of IITRAA Executive Committee (EC) and thus attended many EC meetings. In this course, I attended the EC meeting held on 30th May 2020 which was a kind of worse experience I could ever have. Please find below a brief timeline of various activities that culminated into this most unfortunate and illegal EC meeting of IITRAA:
1. February 02, 2020: Excerpt from the minutes of the IITRAA EC (2018-20) meeting that was held on 2nd February 2020 (see Appendix - 1): “Point no. 5 (a) regarding nomination and selection of President and Secretary of the next IITRAA Executive Committee 2020-22 was discussed. Er. B.K. Chaturvedi put forth few names as suggestions for the post of the next President and asked the EC members they had any objection in considering any of the names suggested and also to give any more suggestions if they had in mind. He informed the house that the names were picked from professionally accomplished alumni. Further, it was also keeping in view major elements of role of IITRAA i.e. alumni networking and mobilizing alumni to muster financial help to IITR. The EC concluded that they have no objection on any name suggested by the President and authorized Er. B.K. Chaturvedi, President IITRAA, to nominate the next President.”
2. February 11, 2020: Er. BK Chaturvedi, the then President of IITRAA, sent an email with the “Subject: Next President of IITRAA” to google group email ID of IITRAA EC (2018-20) i.e. <[email protected]> and copied to Director IITR <[email protected]>, Shri Mohinder Nayyar <[email protected]> stating that he is happy to report that our distinguished alumnus, Shri Mohinder Nayyar has consented to accept the position. He further requested AA office to draw a brief profile of Shri Nayyar and make a draft communication for release to inform all alumni about the forthcoming change.
3. February 11, 2020: In response to above email, Shri Ashok Gupta communicated his consent, Dr. Achal Mittal (the then Vice President, IITRAA) and Shri Dinesh Pawar (Nominated Secretary of IITRAA) showed their happiness, and Shri Mohinder Nayyar (Nominated President of IITRAA) expressed his gratitude.
4. February 17, 2020: IITRAA sent an email announcing the Nominated President and Honorary
Secretary of IITRAA for the next term (2020 - 22) with their brief profiles.
5. February 20, 2020: The Corrected Minutes of the EC Meeting held on Feb 02, 2020 (see Appendix - 1) were circulated to all EC members asking them to send comments on the minutes by 29 February 2020:
6. February 20, 2020: Shri BK Chaturvedi emailed to all members that if any member present in the meeting, observes any error in recording of minutes, please feel free to give your comments.
7. February 21, 2020: Dr Achal Mittal replied to all that Minutes were well drafted and seems fine
to him.
8. February 29, 2020: No comments on the minutes of EC Meeting dated 2nd Feb. 2020 were brought to the notice of IITRAA EC on or before the deadline of 29th February 2020.
9. April 11, 2020: In the first meeting of IITRAA EC (2020-2022) held on 11th April, the Item No.4:
Approval of the Minutes of Meeting of Executive Committee held on Feb 02, 2020 was discussed and no objection was raised by any one and thus the minutes of EC meeting dated 2nd February 2020 were approved.
10. April 17, 2020: Shri Dinesh Singh Pawar, Hon. Secy. IITRAA circulated the Minutes of the EC
Meeting held on April 11, 2020 covering 8 items that were deliberated during the meeting. EC members were informed to send their comments if any by April 24, 2020. The minutes circulated by Shri Dinesh Singh Pawar, Hon. Secy. IITRAA included the following: “4. Approval of Minutes of Previous EC Meeting (dated Feb 02, 2020) Motion: To approve the Minutes of the EC Meeting held on Feb, 02, 2020 as circulated Motion By: Sh. Mohinder Lal Nayyar Seconded By: Dr. Achal Mittal Carried The Chairperson asked only the members who were part of the previous Executive Committee, if they have any comments on the minutes of the EC meeting held on Feb 02, 2020. Since, the minutes of the meeting had been circulated to all members of the EC and no comments had been received on the recording of the minutes, the minutes were confirmed and approved.”
11. April 24, 2020: No comments on the above circulated minutes were brought to the notice of
IITRAA EC on or before the deadline of April 24, 2020.
12. April 25, 2020: Second meeting of EC (2020-2022) was held and minutes of 11th April meeting were approved before the discussions on various task forces.
13. May 19, 2020: The first email to EC raising objection on the minutes of the 2nd Feb. 2020 EC
meeting which led to the nomination of President IITRAA Mr Mohinder Nayyar. This email was sent by an EC member.
14. May 19 – 22, 2020: A few other EC members followed upon the above email.
15. May 22, 2020: DORA shared the response of immediate past president Mr BK Chaturvedi on these emails. (see Appendix - 2).
16. May 28, 2020: Agenda (see Appendix - 3) for the EC Meeting to be held on May 30, 2020 was
circulated by Hon Secy without approval of the President. Agenda included items violating bylaws, e.g. i) to Request the Vice-President to Chair the meeting and Opening Remarks by Vice-President (even when the meeting was scheduled by the President and he was available for the meeting), and ii) Approval of the minutes of the meeting of Executive Committee held on April 11 (even when the minutes were already approved in the meeting of April 25, 2020).
17. May 29, 2020: DORA sent email (see Appendix - 4) to Hon Secy raising objection on the unlawful agenda circulated for EC Meeting scheduled on 30th May 2020.
18. May 29, 2020: President, Mr Mohinder Nayyar sent an email enclosing a letter and agenda for the
May 30th EC meeting (see Appendix - 5).
19. May 30, 2020: Meeting of EC held and conducted in violation of bylaws and a motion was passed totally against the IITRAA bylaws. I was shocked and deeply pained during this EC meeting to see how several members misinterpreted and misrepresented IITRAA bylaws and did not allow the President Mr. Mohinder Lal Nayyar to chair the meeting. In addition, they passed an illegal resolution to declare his nomination as invalid.
20. June 02, 2020: DORA sent an email (see Appendix - 6) to Hon Secy and EC members on the illegal EC Meeting held on 30th May, 2020 and the unfortunate conduct of several members at the meeting.
21. June 02, 2020: President, Mr Mohinder Nayyar sent an email to Hon. Secy. and EC members about the illegal conduct of EC Meeting on May 30, 2020 (see Appendix - 7)
Above account of events proves that most of the members of the current IITRAA EC do not hold the ethos and values of this great institute. Neither do they respect the bylaws of IITRAA. I am deeply pained by the actions of certain members of the EC in misinforming the other members of the EC, misrepresenting facts and doing a volte-face on their earlier affirmation of the completely legal and procedurally sound nomination of the President. In fact, I saw members who had supported the minutes of the 2nd Feb. 2020 EC meeting are now declaring the minutes of that EC meeting as being incorrectly recorded. This makes me clearly believe that the personal interests of a few members who are part of a coterie are prevailing over the greater good of the alumni. Before the current IITRAA EC further damages the institute's reputation, I request you to take appropriate action. Sincerely,
Bhola Ram Gurjar DORA IIT Roorkee
Minutes of the meeting of Executive Committee of IITRAA held on Feb 02, 2020 at 11:30 AM in the Board Room of IIT Roorkee.
The following were present:
Er. B.K. Chaturvedi - President Dr. Achal Mittal - Vice-President
Er. Vikas Goyal - Honorary Secretary Er. Dinesh S. Pawar - Joint Secretary Prof. B.R. Gurjar - DORA Dr. Ashok Kumar Gupta - Member
Dr. Satyendra Mittal - Member Er. Nikhil Kumar Pant - Member Er. Pradeep Kumar Bansal - Member Er. Vipin Kumar Sharma - Member
Dr. Anju Saini - Member Ms. Ruchika Monga - Executive Officer The following members participated in the deliberations through E-mode.
Er. Aditya Gupta Regrets for absence were received from the following: Er. N. K. Sharma
Dr. R.D. Garg Er. Sudhir Kumar Mital
Er. A.C. Mathur AGENDA FOR THE MEETING WAS TAKEN UP AS FOLLOWS: 1. The President welcomed all members to the meeting of the Executive Committee. In
his opening remarks, he mentioned regarding poor attendance of EC members during EC meetings in spite of holding the same on weekends (i.e. Saturday and Sunday). Holding meetings on weekends has not served attendance purpose. He then asked the Honorary Secretary to continue with the proceedings of the meeting as per the agenda.
2. Minutes of the meeting of Executive Committee meeting held on Oct 16, 2019 were confirmed and approved.
3. Er. Vikas Goyal, Hony. Secretary, IITRAA informed the house that the following
reunion meets were held during October – December, 2019 and the number of members attending these meets as noted against each:
Diamond Jubilee - October 16-18, 2019 - 24
Coral Jubilee - November 1-3, 2019 - 73
Silver Jubilee - November 15-17, 2019 - 189
Golden Jubilee - November 23-25, 2019 - 144
Pearl Jubilee - December 20-22, 2019 - 65
The IIT Roorkee Alumni Association has hosted breakfast during all the Jubilee Reunions in honour of the members and their accompanying family members. The house complimented Sh. Vikas Goyal of IITRAA and appreciated the efforts of DORA in organizing the Jubilee Reunions.
4. Er. Vikas Goyal, Hony. Secretary, IITRAA reported Item No. 3 of the Agenda regarding the progress of upcoming IITRAA Online Elections- 2020. He reported regarding the Schedule of the Online Elections and explained the process of updating details on the Election website. The President raised his concern about low turnout in last elections when polling number was around 1200. Taking most conservative base of membership, polling % was substantially low. Hence improving the participation in upcoming elections is important. He suggested that we should target substantially higher percentage than previous elections. Er. Dinesh Singh Pawar agreed with him and informed that initially IITRAA had Offline elections with a voting turnout of around 100. Dr. Achal Mittal added that IITRAA has conducted Online Elections twice with voting turnout of around 800 in the 1st online election and improved to around 1200 in the 2nd Online elections. Suggestions were invited from all EC members for improving participation in elections and information reaching a wider alumni base. Er. Nikhil Pant suggested that the members should be approached through their Local Chapter Whatsapp groups and we could seek help from recent Jubilee Reunion representatives for taking responsibility of their batch. The President suggested that identifying the bounced back emails and trying to find the correct contact details of these alumni through their batchmates could be beneficial. There should be no instance of a member wanting to vote but he doesn’t receive voting link. It is the responsibility of the IITRAA Office and EC to ensure that the voting links are received by all members whose phone numbers and email ids are updated. Regarding this the EO informed that the complete list of members has been uploaded on the election website and the details are shown in masked format. By a simple click, the details can be updated by sending an email and the same shall be updated on the website at regular intervals. Each one of us should circulate this through social media etc. so that maximum members are able to update. Sh. A.K. Gupta suggested that publishing of some important events viz. the IITRAA Elections in the national newspaper for wider reach can be incorporated. The point was concluded and the Online Election schedule was approved by the house. A small discussion by the EC members ensued on the suggestion made by the President regarding publishing the Election Report after each Election. Sh. Vipin Kumar Sharma was of the view that the Election Report should not be published.
5. Er. Vikas Goyal, Hony. Secretary, IITRAA reported Item No. 4 of the Agenda regarding the appointment of the Returning Officer for the upcoming IITRAA Online Elections-2020. It was reported that few pertinent and respectable persons were approached and finally, Prof. Sandeep Singh had kindly agreed and given his consent for the role of Returning Officer for the IITRAA Elections. The house was of the view that the consent of EC members should have been taken before making
this decision. The Secretary clarified that due to shortage of time as the process of Elections had to be initiated soon and with due permission from the President, the decision was taken and few people were approached for the role. Er. B.K. Chaturvedi, President, IITRAA suggested that DORA (ex-officio) could be requested to act as Returning Officer of IITRAA Elections from next time onwards. Hony. Secretary was of the view that appointment of Returning Officer should be left to the EC as per existing provisions, since this EC cannot bind its decision on the incoming EC regarding the appointment of the Returning Officer.
6. To discuss points under Item No. 5 of the Agenda, the members present in the meeting expressed their views/suggestions as under: - Point no. 5 (a) regarding nomination and selection of President and Secretary of
the next IITRAA Executive Committee 2020-22 was discussed. Er. B.K. Chaturvedi put forth few names as suggestions for the post of the next President and asked the EC members they had any objection in considering any of the names suggested and also to give any more suggestions if they had in mind. He informed the house that the names were picked from professionally accomplished alumni. Further, it was also keeping in view major elements of role of IITRAA ie. alumni networking and mobilizing alumni to muster financial help to IITR. The EC concluded that they have no objection on any name suggested by the President and authorized Er. B.K. Chaturvedi, President IITRAA, to nominate the next President. For the post of the next Honorary Secretary, Er. Vikas Goyal proposed the name of Er. Dinesh Singh Pawar (BE Mechanical- 1993). The house approved and nominated Er. Dinesh Singh Pawar as the Honorary Secretary for the next Executive Committee 2020-22.
- Point no. 6 (b) regarding re-structuring of the EC was taken up by the EC. A Special Review Committee was formed with Sh. Sudhir Mittal as the Convener for the same, and its report was to be prepared by taking into consideration suggestions given by various EC members. Dr. Achal Mittal, Vice-President IITRAA and member of the Special Review Committee reported that due to diverse views in the committee and only 2-3 responses received by EC members as suggestions, the committee could not finalize its recommendations.
- Point no. 6(c) regarding holding the EC meetings outside Roorkee, it was decided that the next EC meeting may be held in March and outside Roorkee. Er. B.K. Chaturvedi, President IITRAA expressed his observation that IITRAA looks too much Roorkee centric. It should get wider involvement. It should attempt to acquire Pan India and global stature. Hence need for change. He mentioned few important issues that could be discussed in the next EC meeting. E-polling should be used more frequently to seek wider opinion of members on key issues. IITRAA should get wider involvement. It should attempt to acquire Pan India and global stature. Hence need for change. Current key issues are attendance of EC members, limit on the no. of terms of EC members of AA, stipulation of having some office bearers necessarily to be Roorkee based and the issue of ensuring proper representation in EC w.r.t geographical boundaries, batches, branches, streams of courses and Roorkee base limitation for few posts.
- Point no. 6(d) regarding encouraging city-coordinators concept where no registered chapter exists was taken up and the house agreed that it was a good idea and as it already exists in the IITRAA Bye-Laws. It can be easily implemented.
The meeting ended with a vote of thanks by the Honorary Secretary to the Chairman and all EC members. Vikas Goyal Honorary Secretary

Dear Sir,
I read the mails sent by some members of new EC. These mails contain certain observationspertaining to meeting of previous EC held on 2-2-2020 in which nomination of President for term2020-22 was discussed. I had chaired this meeting. Hence it is my duty to clarify on some pointsraised regarding discussion in this meeting. My comments are as follows:
1. Point of my possible successors as President of IITRAA was discussed in this meeting. Names ofmany distinguished and respected alumni were discussed. EC members gave their views on eachone of them. There were various comments. For example, some alumni had been consistantlyreluctant in the past to particpate in professional and academic events of the Institute. Somepeople had the inclination but were thought to be too busy to give time for President's role. Eachname had invited both kinds of comments, positive and negative. For example, one name was notsupported by just one EC member. He was alone. No other EC member offered any comment onthe person.
EC gave the responsibility to me to discuss further and finally converge on one name fornomination. This decision is recorded in the minutes of the meeting.
2. We were talking about highly respected senior alumni. Each one of them, if nominated, had theability to add prestige to position of President. Challenge was basically to match their personalstrenths and current needs of IITRAA. Therefore it was decided to give utmost respect to theirdignity and not to mention any names and related comments in the minutes. To best of myknowledge, this has been the practice for years. Minutes of meetings of previous years wouldconfirm it. Minutes of this meeting were circulated to all EC members inviting their comments.Some members confirmed the minutes through mail. They are available on record. More importantis that no EC member sent any objection to any point in the minutes including names and about
02/06/2020 Zimbra
https://mapi.iitr.ac.in/h/printmessage?id=300115&tz=Asia/Kolkata&xim=1 5/24
responsibility given to me for final decision. I am both shocked and pained to see some old ECmembers now mentioning in their mails, names of those respected alumni and negative commentsmade about them by some members. I don't want to elaborate more on what such an action doesto image of EC. It shows that holding agreed confidentiality on a discussion is not a value for some.I apologise to all distinguished and respected Thomsonians whose names are mentioned in thecirculated mails and are being put in public domain due to some immature actions. It has neverhappened before.
3. As decided in EC, I discussed the matter with the Director IITR. I also discussed it with Dr. PremKrishna, former President of IITRAA for his views. The order of exploration with various possiblenominees was decided to seek their response. Dr. Prem Krishna was kind enough to talk to somepeople whom he knew better. Eventually convergence evolved on the name of Mr. Mohinder Nayyar.Main critera were as follows:
To have a US based President for some time would raise the image of IITRAA to a globallevel.Mr. Nayyar was a distnguished alumnus and worldwide known name in his professional field. He had a proven track record of service to IITR, specially in terms of fund raising. He has setup IITR Foundation in USA.He has been associated with international professional bodies like ASME in its management.IITR has been actively looking for large donors. Probablity of finding such donors in US wasconsidered high. Having a US based President could facilitate it.
4. Dr. Prem Krishna has spent long years in Alma mater and has observed the process ofnomination of many Presedents closely. He shared that this process of nomination had worked wellwithout any problem for years.

5. It is difficult to find a candidate on whose name not even one person would object and therewould be 100% consensus. Just as an example, in the same meeting, name of Returning Officerfor EC election was also discussed. On suggested name, there were sharp differences. ThenMembers of working group said that they had already sounded the person. Hence it would look badto withdraw his name at this stage. After that some EC members who were earlier opposing thename, changed their opinion. Even then there were a good number of EC members who persistedwith their opposition. Taking overall view, it was decided to go ahead with the same name. Thequestion is whether 100% consensus is a must. If so, does it make final choice of Returning Officer(RO) invalid? If yes, then does the election conducted by an invalid RO automatically becomeinvalid?
6. Does EC not want to take any decision unless there is 100% consensus? If so, I wish them goodluck. Only time will tell whether approach and actions of new EC prove to be in interest of IITRAAor not.
7. I am fine if you wish to share my comments with any one.

Honorary Secretary, IITRAA
Dear Shri Dinesh Singh Pawar,
This is with reference to the proposed agenda that has been circulated byyou in respect of Executive Committee (EC) Meeting scheduled on 30thMay 2020.
I find it very peculiar that the agenda mentions that the meeting will bechaired by the Vice President. I would like to know why this eventualitywould arise when we already have a duly nominated President, ShriMohinder Nayyar.
I would further like some clarification about any communication from ShriMohinder Nayyar about his inability to attend the meeting, in which case,the agenda set forth by you to make the Vice President, Chairman of themeeting would be justified.
Furthermore, I would like to point out that if Shri Mohinder Nayyar has notapproved of the agenda circulated by you, then your entire agenda isillegal and in contravention to the procedure set forth in the IITRAA Bye-laws.
02/06/2020 Zimbra
https://mapi.iitr.ac.in/h/printmessage?id=301867&tz=Asia/Kolkata&xim=1 4/7

Honorary Secretary, IITRAA
Dear Shri Dinesh Singh Pawar,
As Dean of Resources and Alumni Affairs (DORA) and an ex-officio member of theEC of the IIT Roorkee Alumni Association (IITRAA), I wish to express my strongobjection to as well as my immense disappointment with the way the ExecutiveCommittee (EC) Meeting of 30th May 2020 was convened and then subsequentlyconducted.
As stated earlier, Mr. Mohinder Nayyar is the duly nominated President of theIITRAA and therefore under the byelaws of the Association all meetings areconvened with his approval. The Agenda put forward was clearly without thePresident’s Approval and hence the entire meeting was improper. All members of the IITRAA, especially the office bearers, must respect the fact thatMr. Mohinder Nayyar has been duly nominated and appointed under the byelaws ofthe Association.
02/06/2020 Zimbra
https://mapi.iitr.ac.in/h/printmessage?id=303021&tz=Asia/Kolkata&xim=1 4/6
I am deeply concerned with and pained by the actions of certain members of theExecutive Committee misinforming the other members of the EC, not presenting allfacts uniformly and changing their stance regarding the completely legal andprocedurally sound nomination of the President.
In fact, I now see members who had appreciated and supported the nomination ofMr. Mohinder Nayyar are now declaring his nomination void. This makes me clearlybelieve that the personal interests of a few members who are part of a coterie areprevailing over the greater good of the Alumni.
The meeting was conducted in blatant violation of the bylaws of the Association. Ifail to understand how the EC meeting was chaired by the Vice President when thePresident was available. The byelaws are explicitly clear that all meetings of the ECand the General Body shall be presided over by the President.
I was deeply pained at the blatant disrespect and humiliation meted out to thePresident Mr Nayyar. Surely there should have been some courtesy shown to thegentleman in view of his seniority in age and stature. Keeping him out of the meetingin the humiliating manner in which it was done is just unacceptable by any standardof decency. Such conduct is not in keeping with the IITR tradition and ethos.
I also find the double standards of some EC members present very puzzling in thesense that the nomination of the Returning Officer (RO) is valid despite objections
02/06/2020 Zimbra
https://mapi.iitr.ac.in/h/printmessage?id=303021&tz=Asia/Kolkata&xim=1 5/6
by several EC members whereas the nomination of the President is pronouncedinvalid on the basis of reservation expressed by just one EC member in the samemeeting. This was done despite the fact that previous EC explicitly authorised MrBK Chaturvedi, the previous President, to nominate the next President. On the basisof this authorization, Mr. BK Chaturvedi had nominated Mr. Mohinder Nayyar asthe President. Lastly, when this nomination was communicated on 11th February2020 to all EC members, several of them welcomed and no EC member objected.
Another curious and completely untenable aspect of the Meeting was to allow onlyelected members to vote and not permit ex-officio and other members of the ECfrom casting their vote. The provisions of the byelaws have nowhere limited the rightto vote at meetings solely to the elected members. By virtue of their membership tothe association, all members have a right to vote. Another patent illegality that I wish to highlight is the decision of the EC tonominate a new President. This stance taken is in blatant violation of the byelaws ofthe IITRAA. The EC cannot pick and choose which provisions to comply with andwhich provisions to completely disregard. Therefore, in my opinion, all these acts ofthe EC are improper and in complete violation of the byelaws of the association.
Further, I would like to unequivocally state that the Association has not distinguishedof itself properly especially over the past few years. It has not done justice to the

name “IIT Roorkee” and has not lived up to the ideals of its parent institute as wellas being an effective platform for all alumni all over the world. From the events overthe last few days, I see this situation deteriorating and getting worse.

To 1st June 2020Mr Dinesh PawarHonorary SecretaryIITR Alumni AssociationRoorkee, Distt. Haridwar - 247667 Subject: Illegal Conduct of EC Meeting on 30.05.2020Dear Mr Pawar,This communication is with regard to the Illegal and Improper conduct of the Executive
Committee Meeting hosted by you over WebEx on 30th May 2020.I was deeply hurt by the utter disrespect and disregard shown towards me in the meeting.In all my years as an IITR alumni, never have I faced such insult and humiliation and that toofrom my fellow alumni.There is a clear conflict of vision between some of the members of the executive committee whoare functioning as a cabal and I, which has become abundantly clear by the events of the meetingon 30.05.2020.The indecency shown towards me in the meeting which included; disregarding my presence, notgiving me a chance to speak, preventing me from voting, and further putting me in the lobby(over WebEx) and later kicking me out of the meeting altogether are unacceptable. These pettyactions done by a select group of persons is unbecoming of alumni of such a prestigiousinstitution and goes against all notions of morality, reason, and sensibility apart from beingpatently Illegal.There was a clear unwillingness of certain members of the EC, due to their clouded vision andintentions, to listen to my point of view on the matter. It was clear from the actions of certain

members, who had initially welcomed me with open arms, that there was a premeditated strategyaimed at targeting me which is very unfortunate and unprecedented in the context of IITRalumni.Even though there are differences that exist, but that does not give you the right to treat me in themanner as was done in the meeting.I am the duly nominated and appointed President of this Executive Committee and as theExecutive body of IITRAA which is affiliated to such a prestigious institute, we should not act insuch a petty manner and rather work towards the development and fulfilment of our objectiveswhich is strengthening of our alumni fraternity as well as our Mother Institute, IIT Roorkee.It has come to my attention that the members of the EC, after hijacking the meeting andcommitting what would be considered as a mutiny, passed a resolution to remove me as thePresident and all meetings presided by me have been allegedly declared null and void.I fail to understand how such actions have been taken as they clearly run counter to the expressprovisions of the IITRAA byelaws. I wish the EC members go through the bylaws of theAssociation and explain to me and my alumni brethren as to which provisions justify suchactions.I would like to categorically state that the decision taken by the EC in the meeting is illegal and Icontinue to be the duly nominated and appointed President of the IITRAA despite the disgustingattempts of certain malicious and vindictive members of the association.I hope good sense prevails. Regards, Mohinder NayyarPresident, IITRA
