SrinagarGovernor NN Vohra became the president of the India International Centre (IIC) a prestigious cultural hub in the national capital replacing eminent jurist Soli Sorabjee, who stepped down after an intense power struggle, according to Hindustan Times.
Sorabjee whose recent re-election as the IIC president was questioned by many life trustees and members of the IIC announced his decision to relinquish the coveted post at the annual general meeting on Friday.
It was done in a very cordial manner. I would now concentrate on work and be seen more in the court, Sorabjee said. First, my family did not want me to continue. They said dont have this burden. Second, I was seen more often at the IIC than in the court and so my professional commitment was also getting affected. Third, we wanted to do it in a graceful and coordinal manner so that there is no controversy or acrimony, said the former attorney general.
