IPL Goes Out of India
IPL goes out of India
England, SA in race to host IPL
Forced to shift: BCCI
Batting now: blame game
NCP at odds with ally
Sponsors to rejig field ad strategy
Board and beginners stand to lose
The above are some of the headlines in today's "Telegraph" after IPL's decision on shifting the tournament outside India.
I am my self not a cricket watching fan although I played cricket throughout my school and college days. I consider, watching cricket a waste of time.
However, even I do not accept the decision of IPL to shift venue outside India.
Postponing the matches by about a month or 15 days would not have brought down the heavens but by shifting the match outside India, they are giving wrong signal that India is an unsafe country.
Narendra Modi and Arun Jaitley should stop playing politics with national security.If anybody is killed by terrorists, it will be the common man while they will be surrounded by Z class security.
I commend the Home Minister in sticking to his stand that security for the elections is the prime concern and the IPL tamasha should wait.
Everybody is aware that we are having our elections but the IPL decides not to be aware of the security required even after seeing the carnage in Mumbai and Karachi.
If they shift, well and good. But the people of India have now seen through their selfish motives.
The Indian Government should follow the USA which has taxed at the rate of 90%, the bonus being received by employees of companies who are receiving aid from the government.
The earnings of both BCCI and the IPL should be taxed at 90%, since these earning are being financed by the people of India who are there largest viewers.
The government should also stop bending backwards in accomodating their every whims.
All expenses incurred for security and infrastructure development should be charged to these two organisations.
