Seems Modi has big Ammo to fight against Big Wigs, bravely tackling Dirty Politicians & BCCI. If Modi fears his LIFE like the seat of IPL Chairman, he should deposit all Proofs & Documents to Supreme Court before its destroyed by Dirty Politics or Under World involved. Like SWISS BANKS, is Looted & Black Money invested in IPL under the cloud of Celebrities and Industrialists by Politicians & Underworld on the name of Free Stake? How clean PAWAR stands in this? All culprits involved with " UNDERWORLD " investment in IPL must be charged with FERA, HAWALA, MONEY LAUNDERING & NATIONAL SECURITY ACT.
