NEW DELHI: It was another no-show at the Sports Ministry on Tuesday with former cricket captain Mohammad Azharuddin choosing not to appear before a one-man panel to explain why the Arjuna Award conferred on him should not be withdrawn.Azhar, who alongwith Ajay Jadeja and Manoj Prabhakar has been found guilty of match-fixing practices by CBI and Cricket Board’s internal inquiry, had been issued a show-cause notice by the Government which said it was considering taking back the Arjuna Awards conferred on all the tainted players. Joint Secretary JP Singh, before whom Azhar had to appear at 11 am this morning, told waiting mediapersons at noon that Azhar would not come.
