Mumbai, June 24: Suspended IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi’s lawyer Mehmood Abdi today questioned the legality of BCCI’s July 3 Special General Meeting, which will decide his client’s fate, calling it a “khap panchayat”.
Abdi accused the BCCI of sweeping the charges against Board secretary N Srinivasan made by Modi under the carpet.
“Now it is not a Lalit Modi and Srinivasan fight but evidence of the manner in which the country’s premier sport body is being administered. Complaints making serious charges against the Secretary have been made yet these are being swept under the carpet.
“Whereas, President BCCI has recused himself the Secretary BCCI, despite being in an utterly questionable position, is calling the shots. Best of luck to the Khap Panchayat of BCCI,” Abdi said in a statement.
Abdi alleged that the SGM was just an illegal exercise by Srinivasan.
