While police investigates the Indian Premier League 6 spot-fixing case, demands for Board of Control of Cricket for India (BCCI) President becomes controversial and considers resigning over moral grounds. Union Sports Minister Jitendra Singh has urged BCCI President N Srinivasan step down.
“The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports has observed with considerable disquiet, the reports about match and spot fixing in cricket. BCCI is inquiring into allegations of match and spot fixing. As there is a conflict of interest in this inquiry, therefore BCCI president should tender his resignation on moral grounds, pending the outcome of the inquiry,” the ministry of youth affairs and sports said in a statement.
“It is in favor of a law to curb malpractices in all sports… it will send its comments on the bill drafted by the law ministry and is looking forward to working with the law ministry and other stakeholders for the development of a comprehensive law against match and spot fixing,” it added.
On the other hand, Srinivasan immediately dismissed the demands despite increasing pressure and suggestions from his colleagues. IPL Commissioner Rajiv Shukla indicated that he personally advised Srinivasan to step down.
“Image of the cricket board was discussed in the meeting. An investigation committee has been formed with the least involvement of BCCI members in it. Outsiders will be the members of this investigation panel. He (Srinivasan) is an elected president. He has been advised to step aside during the investigation… He said he is innocent. We want an independent probe in it. Whatever possible in the favor of BCCI, would be done,” IPL Commissioner Rajiv Shukla said.
