Kolkata, Nov 8 (PTI) Indian football icon Bhaichung Bhutia, who lost a lopsided election last year for the post of AIFF president, on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on the governing body’s incumbent president Kalyan Chaubey while demanding for ‘fresh’ polls.

The former Indian captain’s salvo at the AIFF executive committee comes in the wake of the sacking of its secretary general Shaji Prabhakaran, who has been removed on grounds of ‘breach of trust’.

Bhutia claimed that Prabhakaran has been made a ‘scapegoat’ by the Chaubey-led body, adding that having an election is the only way to save Indian football.

“The breach of trust should not be on Shaji alone but all the members heading the AIFF, including the president, vice-president and treasurer,” Bhutia told
