The Congress has demanded Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into alleged irregularities in Delhi District Cricket Association (DDCA). Briefing media in New Delhi this evening, party spokesperson Ajay Maken said, his party is asking for the JPC probe so that truth can be unravelled. Mr Maken said the Delhi government cannot set up a Commission of Inquiry in the case as it does not have the power to do so without the approval of Lieutenant Governor and the Home Ministry. <br/><br/>Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had yesterday indicated that he proposed to order a Commission of inquiry into the DDCA affairs. Mr Maken also demanded resignation of Finance Minister Arun Jaitley over the alleged irregularities. Mr. Jaitley was chairman of the cricket body between 1999 and 2013. Meanwhile, Mr. Arun Jaitley dismissed the allegations as baseless. He said Delhi government and Aam Aadmi Party which are in the dock cannot deflect the issue without any basis.
