Actor-turned politician Shatrughan Sinha lashed out at organisers of IPL matches for bringing cheer girls to the stadiums, making a "mockery" of cricket.
"If you are so interested in deploying these cheer girls who dance after hits of fours and sixes, it is better to give chance to the bar girls who have been rendered unemployed after Maharashtra government put a ban on the dance in bars," said Sinha.
"I am afraid that cricket, which has been shortened from five days to one day and now to the T 20 format, might be reduced to ’Toss-Toss’ in which the winner will be decided through toss," he said sarcastically.
Strongly criticising the move to bring cheer girls from abroad for performing what he termed as "indecent dance" during Indian Premier League (IPL) matches, Sinha said it is "difficult to find cricket in these matches".
Sinha, who was union minister in Atal Bihari Vajpayee-led NDA government, also took exception to the auctioning of players for the IPL tournament.
Shotgun Sinha appealed to the cricketing bosses to seriously ponder over the issue to save the glory of the great sport.
