It’s a bit difficult if one asks suddenly about the scams in which Sharad Pawar was not involved, directly or indirectly. Such is the infamy of the former Indian Cricket Administrator and Union Minister.

On the other hand is the IPL Czar Lalit Modi, who is the chief accused in the Indian Cricket’s biggest scandal ever. The mentioning of the both at one place obviously attracts the media’s attention.

Now a mail which connects these two has been leaked. A written conversation has been found in a mail format, in which the nexus between the businessmen, union ministers, top bureaucrats, and civil servants has been found. In this, IPL fraud thanked many Big-wigs of the nation which includes Sharad Pawar, Swaraj Kaushal, a lawyer married to Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj; and controversial entrepreneur Vinod Goenka, who is on trial for corruption in the telecom or 2G scam, one of India's largest financial swindles.

When asked why Mr Modi thanked him, Mr Goenka told media that they had spent some time together in London at "pubs and PTA meetings" but insisted that he is "not that close to Mr Modi". However, there is wide-ranging evidence of close links between the two businessmen. Mr Modi's Instagram account shows him attending the Istanbul wedding this May of Mr Goenka's nephew, Yash Goenka. Vinod Goenka told media the invite was extended by the bride's family and "Modi was only there for a short time." But newspaper archives also show that in 2010, Vinod Goenka and Shahid Balwa, who is also an accused in the telecom scam, flew in a private jet of Mr Modi's to Abu Dhabi.

Another top player Sharad Pawar also denounced the comments. The former union minister and once Indian cricket's powerful decision maker, claims that he was unaware of Mr Modi's thank you note as his subordinates will oversee the account. The politician has, however, admitted that he met Mr Modi in London a month ago.

In fact, both BJP and Congress helped him equally to run away and now the ruling party and the opposition party are blaming each other. The IPL scandal should be investigated just the way, FIFA was investigated. But in India, people forgot about the IPL scandals seasons ago.
