Sports Minister Ajay Maken on Wednesday that it\u2019s important that the BCCI stayed at an arm\u2019s distance from the IPL to avoid any conflict of interest that can eventually mount to corruption, says a report in The Times Of India. <\/strong>\u201cThe IPL should not be under BCCI so that there is no overlapping of interests. Both bodies should be separate organizations. Even in the English Premier League (EPL) and other leagues the world over, there is always a distance between the leagues and the parent sports federations. The Football Association (FA) never organizes the EPL,\u201d said Maken. <\/p>\n

The minister also used the opportunity to reiterate that it was high time BCCI came under the Right to Information (RTI) Act and that the proposed sports bill \u2013 which has faced a lot of resistance \u2014 was tabled in the Parliament. <\/p>\n

Quoting the example of the English Premier League and other premier league competitions around the world, the sports minister called for autonomy and transparency in the Indian context of cricket administration, keeping in mind the overlapping of interests, sys a Hindu <\/strong>report.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe refused to react to individual names when probed on the subject further. The minister also reiterated his argument that the BCCI should be registered as a sports body with the sports ministry rather than continue as a corporate entity. Mr. Maken was categorical, however, in his observation that the BCCI should go to the root of the problem and that the mere suspension of the five players would not suffice,\u201d adds the report.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile a report in The DNA <\/strong>says that turning the heat on Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), sports minister Ajay Maken has directed his ministry to draft a letter to the finance ministry requesting it to expedite the investigation into the ongoing Foreign Exchange Regulation Act (FERA) violation cases.<\/p>\n

In the light of fresh evidence of spot-fixing in Indian cricket, Maken doesn\u2019t want this opportunity to slip out of his hands, said a ministry official. \u201cThere are about 42 cases of FERA violations against the BCCI. These cases are being investigated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for quite some time. The investigation is going on at a normal pace and the sports minister wants a speedy probe so that the culprits are brought to justice,\u201d the official told DNA on Wednesday. When asked when the letter would be dispatched, the official hinted that it could just be a matter of a day or two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
