Bangalore, Mar 31 (PTI) Chairman of Karnataka Legislative Council Veeranna Mathikatti today referred the privilege motion, sought to be moved against the promoters of IPL by both the opposition and ruling party members in the House recently, to a nine-member committee. Members cutting across party lines charged in the Council that promoters of the IPL had insulted the members of the House by sending a "pass" to all legislators to watch a match between Royal Challengers of Bangalore against Kings-XI Punjab on March 16 last. The IPL promoters had distributed one ticket each to all the legislators, priced at Rs 49 which entitled the members to enter the stand, which actually cost Rs 3,000. The members also took exception to liquor being served during the match, in violation of excise rules and accused IPL organisers of converting the game into a revenue generating model while evading tax payment. After allowing a brief discussion on the issue, Mathikatti reserved his ruling before referring it to the Privileges Committee. The committee headed by K C Kondaiah (Cong) can summon the IPL organisers for hearing on the issue and can also admonish them if found guilty.
