Raja Upadhyay Suspended as Chair of Election Committee

Raja Upadhyay Suspended as Chair of Election Committee

June 18, 2011

Mr. Raja Upadhyay, who has long served ANA primarily in the role of Election Committee Chairman has been suspended by ITFANA for his role in recent election. While he was out of country, according to him someone sent out email from his home email address announcing winners with his knowledge. He has not answered question on who sent the email, when he had ready internet access himself in out of country or why he decided to do so unilaterally when a day earlier the Election Committee had unanimously decided to halt election activities. He put the integrity of the Election Committee in question and has raised suspicion of other candidates. Therefore as per the notification of ITFANA, Raja Upadhyay has been suspended from his role as Chair of Election Committee of ANA and the matter may be pursued with any recourse chosen by ITFANA to uncover any anomalies and irregularities. Raja Upadhyay can request Executive Board of ANA to reinstate his position as Chair with documented explanation on the questions raised.

The Special Emergency Meeting of Executive Board of ANA unanimously approved and upheld jurisdiction of ITFANA on:
a.    Next ANA Election until its conclusion. 
b.    Financial matters of Boston Convention until its completion
c.    ANA/ NECC affair until the title is transferred.
d.    29th ANA Convention in DC until its conclusion
e.    Lawful action to respond to anyone or any situation against ANA
