Former HCA president Arshad Ayub said the panel will make sure they fulfill all the promises in their manifesto. “We are the stakeholders of HCA and we were not allowed into the Stadium.

Meanwhile, former HCA secretary Shesh Narayan said that the HCA is in a mess because of Mohammad Azharuddin. “If we have any misunderstanding or a problem, we have to sit together and sort things out but should not go to court,” he said. The panel members sounded confident of a resounding victory.
Panel Members: President: G Amarnath; Vice-president: G Srinivas Rao; Secretary: G Devraj; Treasurer: C Sanjeev Reddy; Joint Secretary: Chitti Sreedhar; Councilor: Sunil Kumar.
