Bangalore: BCCI’s tall claims of cleaning up
Indian cricket after the IPL spot-fixing mess are coming across as a
barefaced lie to the millions of fans.
Twenty-one days after N Srinivasan, as president, announced the
setting up of an inquiry commission to probe into the alleged charges of
betting on IPL cricket by his son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan, the
investigation is headed nowhere.
In fact, even the first steps have not been initiated as the two
former judges of the Madras high court, Justice T Jayaram Chouta and
Justice R Balasubramanian, have received neither the complaint nor the
requisite documents from the BCCI.
Speaking to reporters in Bangalore, Chouta said that he and
Balasubramanian would be able to start the probe only after receiving
the terms of the commission, the complaint and documents from the
cricket board.
"Once we (Justice Chouta and Justice R Balasubramanian) receive
these, we will sit together and decide the way forward," said the
76-year-old Chouta who is expected to be the chairman of the
commission.
"We can't meet or decide anything until the BCCI initiates the
inquiry. They've appointed us and therefore it is they who have to first
give us the complaint. Without that we can't do anything," said
Chouta.
With BCCI just sitting over the matter , the fixers and the punters
are getting enough time to cover up their dirty act and escape unhurt
in the biggest scandal to ever ht Indian cricket.
