BCCI to fight for justice for Harbhajan : Pawar

Kolkata, Jan 11 Throwing its weight behind embattled Harbhajan Singh on the racial row, the BCCI today said it would "do everything" to see that the ace Indian off-spinner gets justice.
"BCCI has decided to give full support to Harbhajan and provide legal help to fight it out," Pawar told reporters on the sidelines of an International seminar here.

"Three members of the Board -- Arun Jaitley and N Srinivasan, who are noted lawyers, and President-Elect Shashank Manohar will look after the case," he said.

Pawar was, however, evasive on whether India would pull out of the current Australia tour if the verdict of ICC's Appeals Commissioner went against Harbhajan.

"I have not heard anything about that," the incoming ICC President said, adding "I expect the controversy to be resolved as early as possible." Pawar, however, expressed satisfaction at the way the ICC had dealt with the Harbhajan case and the umpiring controversy as also the attitude of Cricket Australia on these issues.

To a question if he would take up the issues at the ICC's Dubai meet on Monday, he said "the ICC meeting has been called to discuss some other matters and not these ones.
