IPL-2ND LD SUNANDA

The statement, read out to media by her lawyer Ashish
Mehta, said she had been looking forward to "contributing over
the next ten years to building the team's brand, organising
events for it and marketing the team in India and the Gulf in
particular".
"Given the deeply unpleasant publicity surrounding my
involvement however, I can no longer imagine being able to
find the enthusiasm required to associate myself with any IPL
activity in foreseeable future."
The move comes at a time when Tharoor is facing a tough
time with opposition demanding his sacking from the
government.
Tharoor has denied the charge that he had any financial
stake in the Kochi IPL which had given 19 per cent (Rs 70
crore) of the 25 per cent free equity of Rendezvous to Sunanda
as she was a professional businesswoman.
Sunanda also said she is a professional of 20 years of
"well-earned successful experience" and that she was "deeply
distressed over the wild and malicious reporting of recent
days" surrounding her role in Rendezvous.
Mehta said Sunanda's decision had nothing to do with
Tharoor, the Minister of State for External Affairs.
The new Chairman of the Kochi IPL team Harshad Mehta is
in touch with the IPL officials regarding the matter.

Commissioner Lalit Modi and I S Bindra are in Dubai currently
to attend an ICC meeting. PTI PYK
