The body doesn\'t exist anymore and it\'s definitely not legal (to call executive body meeting),\" Kalmadi said. \"There is no recognition from the IOA, the International Hockey Federation and the government as well,\" he added. Asked about whether it would affect the way of working of the new ad hoc committee, Kalmadi rubbished such possibility saying, \"No, not at all.\" Earlier, one of the former executive committee member of IHF confirmed Gill\'s decision to convene the meeting on Friday. \"I have heard that a meeting will be held at Gill\'s residence on May 16. But I have not received any formal communication regarding the parley yet,\" he said on condition of anonymity.
Former Olympian Aslam Sher Khan, who heads the ad hoc selection committee, said it was a \"laughable\" effort by Gill. \"He can\'t reconcile to the fact that he has been sacked. This development confirms the reason behind poor condition of Indian hockey,\" he said. \"The IOA and the government have taken the decision to sack him. This meeting will let us know who are still with the former IHF chief,\" Khan added.
