Kalmadi, who was sacked as the CWG Organising Committee Chairman, today demanded a JPC probe into all issues relating to the mega sporting event amid reports that CBI has tracked an e-mail alleging that he got kickbacks.
Congress today steered clear of commenting on party MP Suresh Kalmadi's statement seeking a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into the entire CWG issue.
"We do not believe in commenting on ongoing criminal proceedings," party spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi told reporters when his reaction to Kalmadi's statement was sought.
"Today no JPC exists. Nor have any terms of reference been arrived at. Therefore, we cannot speculate. Let us not comment before the event (announcement of JPC) happens", he added.
Kalmadi, who was sacked as the CWG Organising Committee Chairman, today demanded a JPC probe into all issues relating to the mega sporting event amid reports that CBI has tracked an e-mail alleging that he got kickbacks.
In a statement on the eve of the start of the Budget Session of Parliament, the embattled sports administrator said he would resign as Member of Parliament in case any proof of him having taken even a single rupee surfaces.
Kalmadi also said he was "deeply pained and constrained" at the "malicious campaign" going against him regarding the Delhi Commonwealth Games-2010.
"The stories going around are far from actual facts," Kalmadi, who is also the president of Indian Olympic Association, said.
"Were the government to agree to constitution of a JPC into the 2G Spectrum issue it would only be fair a similar process of Joint Parliamentary Committee should go into the entire range of issues connected with preparations, executions and conduct of the Commonwealth Games," Kalmadi said in the
statement.
He added "...I am confident that this would enable the entire truth to emerge in the public domain".
