"We demand Mr Kirti Azad's immediate suspension along with other such cricketers from BCCI and DDCA, and institution of an immediate independent inquiry to their accusations so that if found guilty, lifetime ban on them could be imposed," Vinod Tihara, Convenor Sports Committee, said in a statement.

"The real agenda is to tarnish the image of our clean President Arun Jaitley and that's why even while criticising IPL, he talks incessantly against DDCA and its overall functioning.

"Clearly, it is not cricket but pure cheap, dirty politics. Their frustration to make a dent in DDCA and BCCI has gone out of proportions now."

 

Azad had questioned the lack of accountability and transparency in the Indian Premier League and also went on hunger strike at the Feroz Shah Kotla here on Sunday, but the DDCA said his actions have put the game to shame.
