Government gives IPL spot-fixing a national issue status, nation demands death penalty who found guilty
After huge uproars from the Opposition parties, the UPA Government decided to consider IPL match-fixing as national issue, in line with murder, rapes, drought and earthquakes. However, nation is not satisfied with the Government's promises and asked guilty in spot-fixing to get death penalty.
"They murdered our beliefs; they need to get death penalty. No chance they should survive," said Pappu Pandey who lost huge money on Kolkata Knight Riders, after his office colleague won the bet against him. Pandey was bullish over KKR since the beginning of the IPL.
"WTF! I know Gambhir must have received hundreds of crores rupees from fixers for losing the matches," said Pandey. Pappu said only death penalty to all these fixers would satisfy him.
Asking the execution of all those who found guilty, many protesters gathered on Delhi streets demanding serious action from the Government. The protesters decided to rally to President, Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh's house.
"We will take stricter action against all those who found guilty. I have specifically asked Delhi Police to focus on the case and forget all other crimes such as rape, murder or terrorism," said Law Minister Kapil Sibal, addressing the protesters.
However, it couldn't satisfy protesters who demanded stricter action.
"I assure you that we will make all the provisions like death penalties or life imprisonment for those who found guilty. I can understand your pain, even I lost more than 10 crore on wrong team," said Sibal.
He also said that today only he met Rajeev Shukla and Arun Jaitley and told them that he had given spot-fixing as national issue status and it would consider in line with drought and earthquake.
"I assured them that I will leave all the work aside and will focus on IPL only," said Sibal.
