New Delhi: The embattled former chief of the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee (OC), Suresh Kalmadi, has now asked for a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe into the Games scam.
"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. I am confident that this would enable the entire truth to emerge in the public domain," Kalmadi said in a statement.
"I can vouch that I have not gained financially even a single rupee out of these Games and if proved otherwise, I am prepared to step down as a Member of Parliament," the statement added.
He also asked why he was singled out while the role of all other government agencies was being overlooked.
Meanwhile, sources in the CBI have told NDTV that the investigating agency is probing an email sent by the owner of AM Films Ashish Patel to CWG treasurer Jeychandran which mentions a payment of 50,000 pounds to an associate of Kalmadi.
