New Delhi, April 25: It could be a real comedown for NCP chief Sharad Pawar if a decision is taken to set up a Joint Parliamentary Committee into the IPL controversy.
This is because the last probe by a JPC was headed by Pawar himself.
This time, however, a JPC probe is being demanded in the backdrop of demands of resignation of Pawar and his party colleague Praful Patel as Union Ministers.
Pawar was a former Cricket control board chief during whose tenure the IPL tournament began with Lalit Modi as its Commissioner.
The JPC headed by Pawar was the fourth and the last probe committee set up by Parliament on August 22, 2003. That time the MP was a veteran on the opposition benches and the NDA was in power.
