NEW DELHI, April 19 (PTI) - After forcing exit of Shashi Tharoor from the ministry, non-UPA members today mounted an attack on IPL, demanding its ban and sought a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into its source of funds.
Left parties, BJP, RJD, SP, JD(U) and BSP raised the issue in the Lok Sabha and demanded that IPL be taken over by the government.
The Left members alleged betting and laundering of black money through IPL.
As soon as the House met for the day, Lalu Prasad (RJD), Mulayam Singh Yadav (SP) and Sharad Yadav (JD-U) were on their feet demanding that government ban the IPL which according to them has become a "betting and gambling ring".
Amid calls from Speaker Meira Kumar to allow the Question Hour, Sharad Yadav, said, "The moot question is the IPL and not Tharoor."
Prasad wanted the government to take over the IPL and the BCCI.
