Speaking to The Indian Express, Edulji "As a woman in the CoA, it was my moral duty to ask for the resignation because my female team is present, my female support staff are present and there is has female staff at BCCI. He (Johri) will walk freely in the office. What message are we sending to these girls? How can I sit at the meeting with him? I can not look in his eyes. You can not say now that he can not sit in the meeting, so how will the CoC work? After all, our main goal is to implement Lodha's recommendations. "

She also stated that the interests of BCCI were paramount to her. "No one is bigger than the organization. The interest of BCCI is first. The BCCI image should not be affected;

Edulji, former captain of India, recounted how she had struggled with the case for four days, starting from the day the CoA asked Johri to respond to the charges the same day. She said that public opinion on the issue was strong and that BCCI, as an institution, should be interested in it.

"I consulted a doctor the other day and he asked me:" kya, tumhara CEO's daughters ko harbad kar raha hair tum kya kar rahe ho? & # 39; (your CEO harbades the girls and what do you do about it?) The other day, I went to the ICC (Cricket Club of India). Parents and women have asked me questions about it. I can not cope with all that. My heart felt that something was wrong and I just supported it. Tomorrow, the man (Johri) will install next to a cricket woman and Virat Kohli at a press conference – what kind of image does this send? -he? People will say that we simply did not do anything, "she said.

In a statement released Thursday, the Court of Auditors publicly announced to its divisions whether Johri should remain in office as CEO.

Diana Edulji said that since the CEO has such serious allegations of badual harbadment, the interests of BCCI and Indian cricket would not be in its interest. With this in mind, she suggested that he resign or that his contract be terminated. The President of the Court of Auditors is not of this opinion and considers that an independent investigation is necessary because the tweet is anonymous. This also concerned a period well before the BCCI joined the Director General and it was necessary to provide natural justice to the Director General by following a due process.
