At BCCI&rsquo;s emergency working committee meeting, Srinivasan agreed to &ldquo;step aside&rdquo; to make way for Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) president Jagmohan Dalmiya as an &ldquo;interim president&rdquo; in the wake of the spot fixing scandal in the recently concluded sixth edition of IPL. Srinivasan&rsquo;s son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan May 24 was arrested by the Mumbai police on charges of betting in the Indian Premier League (IPL). <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/jun/srini.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 417px;" /> &ldquo;The meeting was very smooth. There was no acrimony. The members appreciated what were the tasks ahead of the BCCI. This announcement I made after all members had expressed their views. This was well received. Then Dalmiya was appointed. I have taken an extraordinarily fair step,&rdquo; Srinivasan told NDTV. Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) president I S Bindra, however, told the press after attending the meeting that he was the only one to ask for Srinivasan&rsquo;s resignation. The BCCI chief, however, refuted this. &ldquo;Mr Bindra didn&rsquo;t ask me to resign. After discussions, I announced I will not discharge my duty till the probe is completed. In the meanwhile, because the board has to function, the board asked Mr Dalmiya to take care of the things.&rdquo; Request to return Srinivasan also said that Sanjay Jagdale and Ajay Shirke, who on Friday resigned as BCCI secretary and treasurer respectively, have been asked to return. &ldquo;All of us requested Mr Jagdale and Mr Shirke to continue so that there is continuity. They said they will come back tomorrow. &ldquo;Ajay Shirke is my best friend. He said he will come back tomorrow. Even Sanjay Jagdale will get back to us tomorrow. Not a single person in the meeting challenged the decision,&rdquo; added Srinivasan. Asked whether the decision of the board was just, Srinivasan said: &ldquo;You can call it fair or unfair or whatever, but this is fair. It was unanimous.&rdquo;u00a0
