New Delhi, April 24: Amid increasing attack on Lalit Modi, a member of the IPL Governing Council today gave enough hints to its Commissioner that he should quit.
“Wisdom should prevail upon him,” said Rajiv Shukla, also BCCI vice president, when asked whether Modi should quit as IPL Commissioner.
Shukla, who briefed Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee on the ongoing IPL controversy earlier in the day, asserted that the Governing Council will meet on April 26 as scheduled.
Modi’s fate hangs in balance as the Governing Council is expected to discuss the IPL controversy amid allegations that “betting and money-laundering” had taken place.
The meeting will be deliberating and analysing the details of all IPL franchisees.
However, there are reports that Modi may boycott the meeting.
Sources said BCCI has the authority under Section 32 of its rules to remove Modi even if the Governing Council does not give its consent.
