Former Indian football team captain Bhaichung Bhutia, who recently lost the All India Football Federation (AIFF) president's election, has questioned the appointment of Shaji Prabhakaran as its secretary general, saying that "choosing a voter to a salaried post will set a wrong precedent".
Mr. Prabhakaran, who was in the electoral college as a representative of Football Delhi, was made the AIFF Secretary General a day after former India goalkeeper Kalyan Chaubey beat Mr. Bhutia 33-1 in the polls for president's post on September 2.
Mr. Bhutia has requested the AIFF to include the issue of appointment of Mr. Prabhakaran raised by him in the agenda of Executive Committee meeting to be held in Kolkata on Monday.
