English version of the Edit in Thuglak dated 24.12.2014 titled " Warning-2”

Widely read Tamil weekly, Thuglak (circulation exceeding one lakh per week) in its latest issue – 24.12.2014 has referred to  the  ongoing  IPL case and said how Mr N Srinivasn ( MD, India Cements) as BCCI President is being targeted by media and influential groups notwithstanding his contribution to the Game and Cricketers.
Thuglak, whose Editor is Veteran political analyst, Cho Ramaswamy,  saidBCCI Chief facing legal hurdles  has made lot of people happy, especially TV channels. In general in our country if one supports the rich, it is termed a big crime,  giving room for doubts. That way,  now anything said in favour of Mr Srinivasan, will be construed as a mistake. That is why, arguments on his behalf are not in the minds of cricket fans.

However, in private conservation, ex cricketers acknowledge the due  recognition and financial assistance they had received after Mr Srinivasan came to power in BCCI. State units, which are weak, are also getting good support from BCCI. Even now, there are no charges of betting and fixing against him. By making him responsible for the alleged mistake by his son in law,  his opponents ranging from Sharad Pawar to TV Channels are hell bent on preventing him from coming to power again.

As the prevailing situation is such that if elections are held, he will be re-elected, the forces opposed to him feel, the  only way to prevent him is by preventing him from contesting. Thuglak concludes by saying Mr Srinivasan’s is a classic case to show  that if media, money power and political power come together, it will not be possible for an individual to get an opportunity to present his case. This is once again demonstrated through his case.
