New Delhi, June 6 (IANS) The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) Sunday demanded a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) to probe the affairs of the Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket.
Pointing out that the wide ramifications of the IPL affairs involve large-scale money transactions and illegal activities, it said: ‘The manner in which the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) and the IPL body have conducted the bids and the franchising have raised a host of issues.
‘The matter cannot be disposed off with some routine enquiries conducted by agencies under the finance ministry. What is required is a full-fledged probe. This should be done by a Joint Parliamentary Committee,’ the party said in a statement after a two-day politburo meet here.
