New Delhi: Sacked CWG Organising Committee
chief Suresh Kalmadi today said Delhi Chief Minister Sheila
Dikshit, along with two other Union Ministers, should be
summoned by CBI which is probing the allegations of corruption
relating to the mega event.
"All those who were involved in organising the Games must
be summoned. Why just go after the Organising Committee"? he
told CNN-IBN when asked if he wanted the Delhi CM as well as
former Sports Minister M S Gill and Urban Development Minister
S Jaipal Reddy to be summoned by the investigating agencies.
Attacking the Delhi CM for her statements against the
Organising Committee, Kalmadi said "she said that even before
the investigations started that all scams are in OC. Does that
mean she predetermined all this?"
The former OC chief said Dikshit must "see her
departments and her budget. Let her talk of what happened in
her departments and don`t blame us. She targeted the OC and I
objected. They should look at their own house. Let her talk
after the probe and not presuppose."
Asked if he was scared of being arrested as some
reports have suggested, he said "I have not done anything
wrong. Why should I be worried? I am not scared at all."
On M S Gill, Kalmadi said "I don`t know what happens
to people when they occupy the Sports Minister`s chair. I felt
hurt when I wasn`t invited for any of the felicitations for
the athletes, post-Games."
To a question who all he thought were responsible for
the mess surrounding the CWG, he said "all government officers
who were associated with the organizing of the Games must be
questioned."
