Yet to decide on attending Games closing ceremony: Maken

Apparently uneasy about sharing a platform with sacked Commonwealth Games Organising Committee Chairman Suresh Kalmadi, Sports Minister Ajay Maken on Friday said he is yet to decide on whether to attend the closing ceremony of the National Games in Ranchi on Sunday.

Asked if he is attending the ceremony of the National Games, Maken said, "There are more than 24 hours for the closing ceremony."

On being persistently asked by reporters outside the Parliament if he does not want to share a platform with Kalmadi, Maken said, "There are 24 hours for me to decide on it."

Kalmadi has not just been sacked as the OC chief, he is also facing allegations of massive corruption and is being investigated by the CBI.
