BHUBANESWAR: Demanding nationwide ban on Indian Premier League (IPL), which is now in serious controversy, Kalinga Sena staged a rally in front of the State Assembly following a procession from Master Canteen to Lower PMG here on Wednesday. Sena workers have burnt effigy of IPL Chairman during rally.
Sena Supreme also demanded that
black money invested in IPL should be probed by CBI, Enforcement Directorate,
Ministry of External Affairs and Central Excise and Custom Department. He said
the proposed IPL final match should also be banned with immediate effects. He
also demanded a CBI probe into IPL management and its chairman Rajiv Shukla.
He said the on going IPL
tournament has earned many controversies like spot fixing controversies involving
four IPL players, Kolkata Knight Rider’s owner and film actor Shah Rukh Khan’s
scrap with the Mumbai Cricket Association officials and a security guard at
Wankhede stadium, Royal Challengers Bangalore’s Australian player Luke
Pomersbach’s alleged molestation attempt on an American lady in a hotel, two
Pune Warriors players, Rahul Sharma and Wayne Parnell, were detained by the
police while busting a rave party during a late-night raid at Hotel Oakwoods in
Mumbai, Rath added.
Rath said the Board of Control
for Cricket in India (BCCI), while showering
money on cricketers, should also educate the players on the dangers lurking
round the corner that can sink their careers. “Players should be stopped from
following Pakistan
pacer Mohammad Amir’s path- from fame to shame,” Rath added.
