Former cricketer and BJP MP Kirti Azad on Saturday said that mere resignation by the top officials of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will not clean the tainted image of Indian cricket, which has taken a beating in wake of the recent Indian Premier League (IPL) spot-fixing scandal
"Is it basically going to change the BCCI, with resignations? I fail to understand. You will have to start from various associations, where prevention of corruption act or the ministry of corporate affairs or registrar of societies or various courts, their cases are pending so they should also step down or step aside on moral grounds and let free and fair enquiry take place," he told the media here.
Two top BCCI officials -- BCCI Secretary Sanjay Jagdale and Treasurer Ajay Shirke-- have tendered their resignations in the wake of spot-fixing scandal. There are indications that more BCCI functionaries may also step down from their respective posts to mount pressure on cricket board''s chief N. Srinivasan to step down from his post in wake of the arrest of his son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan on charges of betting in the IPL.
