'ONGC chief's action amounts to indiscipline'

The Directorate General of Hydrocarbons Chief V K Sibal, whose appointment on the ONGC board has triggered a controversy, on Monday said ONGC chairman Subir Raha's non-acceptance of his appointment amounted to "gross indiscipline."

"My appointment on ONGC board was made by the President of India and not by the petroleum ministry."

ONGC chief may be told to quit

The action of not accepting my appointment amounts to indisciplined behaviour, Sibal told NDTV.

On Raha threatening to resign, he said, "If someone wants to resign, he should resign. What is this threatening all the time."
