- 5 years ago
Spot Fixing Corruption: He did not go into the details of it but Sports Minister Jitendra Singh on Friday said he has a "long-term plan" to curb corruption in cricket after the game was thrown into disarray by the IPL spot-fixing scandal.
Speaking at the conference of Ministers and Secretaries of States/UTs in-charge of sports and youth affairs, Jitendra said transparency was the key to preventing corruption whether in cricket or any other game.
"We are talking about ways to bring about transparency in all sports. We have a long-term plan and we will use this opportunity with the ministers as well as the Secretaries of States to work out some sort of plan to try and curb this menace," Jitendra said.
Indian cricket was shaken to the core after Test pacer S Sreesanth and two other players were arrested for spot-fixing in the IPL.
BJP MP Kitri Azad said as IPL is a part of BCCI, so no one should expect from BCCI to step in for reducing this havoc in cricket.
