Instead of support, she says, she met resistance and silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this year, her persistence reached Westminster, where Bradford West MP Naz Shah blasted the BJJA GB as a \u201cfiefdom\u201d and warned that its culture of secrecy was damaging trust in the sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sport England was also forced to step in. In 2023 it warned the BJJA GB it could be stripped of official recognition. The body survived only by agreeing to strict conditions, including the creation of a diversity working group and promises of cultural change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mumtaz\u2019s persistence has also been acknowledged by Sport England, which launched a governance review and for months threatened to strip the BJJA GB of its official status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BJJA\u2019s conduct questionable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asian Express newspaper\u2019s recent investigation asked fresh questions about BJJA GB&#8217;s conduct, and about historic Facebook posts shared by chair Martin Dixon that included nationalist slogans, attacks on foreign aid and offensive \u201cjokes\u201d &#8211; the BJJA GB did not engage. Instead, it doubled down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asianexpress.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/naz-shah-image-taken-from-her-X-account-VxorQksU3iqY4JU0-jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52715\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In July 2025 MP Naz Shah accused the BJJA of dismissing Ms Khan&#8217;s complaints through &#8220;improper processes&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In response to Asian Express, the BJJA GB reiterated that Mumtaz\u2019s allegations had been \u201cexhaustively investigated\u201d and \u201cconclusively resolved\u201d years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe findings concluded that Mumtaz\u2019s claims were wholly unfounded and vexatious,\u201d the BJJA GB said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHer ongoing efforts, including enlisting support from third parties, appear intent on causing disruption and reputational harm, despite the fact that the matter has been formally and definitively closed for some time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such language is extraordinary and deeply unprofessional for a national governing body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To brand a complainant \u201cvexatious\u201d in an official statement, especially one whose concerns have been raised in Parliament and examined by Sport England, sends a chilling signal to whistleblowers across sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It risks silencing those who might come forward with experiences of racism or discrimination, and suggests a culture more concerned with protecting reputations than addressing problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The BJJA GB has repeated this line before. In a past public statement, the association again described Mumtaz\u2019s claims as \u201cwholly unfounded and vexatious\u201d and noted she had taken her concerns to Sport England, her MP, and the media. It argued the matter was settled internally by its own disciplinary panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn response to this broader scrutiny, Sport England conducted a governance review and identified specific areas for improvement. We took this feedback seriously and worked collaboratively with Sport England to strengthen our internal processes and frameworks,\u201d the BJJA GB said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But critics say such responses expose the heart of the problem: an organisation that sees complaints not as an opportunity to listen and reform, but as an attack to be repelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mumtaz Khan and MP Naz Shah have a fresh meeting scheduled in Parliament to take up the matter with Minister for Sport, MP Stephanie Peacock MP Minister on Monday 3rd November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Questions unanswered<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In light of these developments, questions were put to the BJJA GB about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Whether Chair Martin Dixon accepts responsibility for Facebook posts he shared in 2016\u201317 that included nationalist slogans, and anti-foreign aid rhetoric<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What action the BJJA has taken to address racism claims and discrimination complaints from athletes such as Mumtaz.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How the organisation measures progress on diversity and inclusion beyond policy statements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What milestones have been achieved under the conditions set by Sport England.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The association declined to address the questions directly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Timeline: The BJJA Dispute<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2018 \u2013 Sensei Mumtaz Mumtaz lodges a complaint with BJJA GB over biased refereeing and raises wider concerns about discrimination and governance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2019\u20132022 \u2013 Mumtaz pursues her case through BJJA GB internal panels and external bodies.
