Lalit Modi strikes again

[someone]

About time someone said this. Go Modi go and he has also presented some fair points I do not know who is more right or wrong but at the end, I do know that BCCI is totally wrong if it says it is clean and pure. Hope, Modi continuous to spill the secrets

Suspended IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi today asked BCCI President Shashank Manohar and Secretary N Srinivasan to stay away from the decision-making process and let an independent panel decide his fate. Explaining the reasons for his request, Modi said, "(The requests) are not motivated by any personal grudge but with the sole intention that whatever is the outcome of the present proceedings, the process leading to such decision should be fair and proper, thereby rendering the same unimpeachable." Facing charges of financial irregularities that include allegations of bid-rigging and proxy investment, Modi explained why he wanted Manohar to stay out of the decision-making process. "...I am constrained to prefer the present application for your kind consideration that you may consider recusing yourself from participating any further in the proceedings relating to complaint and show cause notice as your participation in the proceedings would tantamount to being a judge, witness and a potential co-notice in these very proceedings," Modi said. The suspended IPL chief went on to say that he had refused to accept Rendezvous Sports World's bid for Kochi franchise since it came late and claimed that Manohar decided to cancel the first bid process after the incident. "I declined to accept the same, saying it was beyond time. You, however, asked me to accept the bid...You seemed to be under extreme pressure to ensure that the late bid be included in the bidding process," Modi wrote. "I had pointed out that the whole process of cancellation was illegal...but then it seems that you were committed and hence under tremendous pressure to cancel the bid," Modi wrote. Modi said Manohar was in frequent touch with former minister Shashi Tharoor, who was backing the Kochi bid. "I appreciate that due to (the) involvement of a cabinet minister you had to do things which knowing you I believe you would not do in the normal course," he said. His other request was to bar BCCI secretary and co-owner of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) N Srinivasan from participating in the proceedings. Calling Srinivasan "instrumental in sponsoring complaints" against him, Modi said he would like to cross-examine him in the enquiry. Modi said Srinivasan would have an axe to grind against him for various reasons. "I have sufficient cause to apprehend bias...This stems from the manner in which I have consistently frustrated and exposed his attempts at misusing his position as secretary..." Modi said. Modi alleged Srinivasan had handpicked umpires from Chennai to oversee CSK matches before he intervened. "This constituted a clear attempt at umpire fixing/match-fixing. Upon my coming to know of this I objected to the same and removed them in the interest of the League," Modi said. "Since I have been opposed to his manner of functioning from the very inception, it is obvious that to protect his position, the Hon Secretary has good reasons not just to defame me but also to find me guilty of these imaginary wrongdoings alleged in the show cause notice," Modi wrote. Modi said BCCI members, other than those in the IPL Governing Council, and persons with judicial experience -- like former Chief Justice of India -- maybe included in the panel.

'Modi alleged Srinivasan had handpicked umpires from Chennai to oversee CSK matches before he intervened.' "Since I have been opposed to his manner of functioning from the very inception, it is obvious that to protect his position, the Hon Secretary has good reasons not just to defame me but also to find me guilty of these imaginary wrongdoings alleged in the show cause notice," Modi wrote.

Someone (claiming to be Mr.Clean) just got raped. Publicly, may I add.

Why am I not surprised?

[HowardRoark]

Why am I not surprised?

Because negativity is your way of thinking and hence will not be surprised by any ANY negative news in the media let alone this particular news. I am very eager to see how this issue pans out. As I have said before, in our country anyone can say anything about anybody without any consequence at all. If what he said was true, Srinivasan should be removed from all BCCI positions. If it was untrue, then Lalit Modi needs to be sent to some inhabitated island and made to live rest of his life in absolute anonymity.

1. I didn't start this thread and obviously, there are a lot of people out there to agree with Lalit Modi. Slowly everyone seems to be coming out of their shell. 2. I refuse to be naive and think that BCCI & the IPL GC "didn't play any role whatsoever in the alleged wrongdoings". So call me negative if you want to. 3. Its common knowledge that Srinivasan and LM are at loggerheads since more than a year. So if I state the obvious, wonder how it makes me negative. I should infact call you negative for taking every statement as an insult to the entire South India. 4. I don't see a point in taking this any further until something is proven.

[yoda]

So Chennai won the IPL despite not having biased umpires. :csk:

[achilles]

Yes. :csk: won. No one can change history :bow:

[f2000560]

Why am I not surprised?

well what he utters is not gospel. I am not saying he is lying but has it occurred to you that he is displaying classic foot in the mouth behavior starting from my twitter account was hacked (reminded me of the classic dog ate my homework excuse) this could be attention whoring and just kicking up some sympathy whatever this man is not going without a fight.

[kabira]

if you remove someone who worked hard on it from the scratch, he will fight till last blood.

[bhajji]

Oh!! again ??? Now who is goin to tolerate this man, a man of bribe and declaring himself a man of ordinance

[someone]

Oh!! again ??? Now who is goin to tolerate this man, a man of bribe and declaring himself a man of ordinance

well, it is not proven and going for the small fish instead of the big fish which has not been not questioned at all anyone is pure injustice. And he do have some fair points, what is the use of the committee themselves being the one who made Modi suspended. ............... Just do not believe our masala news and think the problem just ends there. Our masala news always have less news but more speculation.
