New Delhi: Slamming AIBA's decision to not only hand provisional suspension to boxer Sarita Devi but also India's Asiad chef-de-mission Adille J Sumariwalla, Indian Olympic Association (IOA) Secretary General Rajeev Mehta yesterday said that the move is an insult to the nation.

"Handing provisional suspension on chef-de-mission was an insult to the country and to IOA and the AIBA has no jurisdiction and right to pass strictures on Adille Sumariwala," Mehta told PTI.
