Bowling out the Cancer quack Dr. Shekhar Salkar was the right move by the
Goa Cricket Association (GCA) but the newly inducted President Chetan Desai
could have started his innings on a clean slate by keeping at bay the
stained Vinod Phadke on the stands till he is cleared by the Courts of the
pending criminal charges against him relating to past GCA affairs. Probity
must extend to all those holding public offices.
There is need to now ensure the removal of Vinod Phadke as GCA Secretary as
his appointment amounts to a cavalier disrespect to the Judiciary and in
total violation of the Justice Pendse commission recommendations which had
indicted Vinod Phadke amongst others of serious misdeeds. Vinod Phadke is
now the accused and facing serious criminal charges in the case involving
the infamous 2001 ticket gate which is pending before the Margao Judicial
Magistrate First Class (JMFC).
Time to sanitize the already very soiled Cricket pitch and restore sanity
to the game.
