Thakur said in his affidavit.<\/p>\n<p>Thakur said he had taken part in a recent ICC meeting where he had pointed out to the ICC chief that he, as the then BCCI President, had taken a view that Justice Lodha panel recommendation on appointment of a CAG nominee in the apex council would amount to governmental interference and may invoke action of suspension of the Board from the ICC.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I, therefore, requested him that he being the ICC chairman, can a letter be issued clarifying the position which he had taken as BCCI President,&#8221; the affidavit said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Manohar explained to me at the meeting that when the stand was taken by him, the matter was pending before this court and had not been decided,&#8221; Thakur said.<\/p>\n<p>The affidavit further said the apex court had later rejected BCCI&#8217;s contention that the appointment of CAG nominee in the council would amount to governmental interference.<\/p>\n<p>The apex court had held that the ICC would appreciate that the appointment would bring transparency in the finances of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).<\/p>\n<p>The apex court had on October 7 directed Thakur to explain by filing a &#8220;personal affidavit&#8221;, the allegation &#8220;whether he had asked the CEO of the ICC to state that the appointment of Justice Lodha Committee was tantamount to government interference in the working of the BCCI&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211;
