AIFF send East Bengal GS Kalyan Majumdar showcause notice

The fallout of the AIFF decision to revoke the suspension of Mohun Bagan AC and allow them back again into the I-League continues as the federation has showcaused East Bengal Club General Secretary Kalyan Mazumder for 'derogatory' remarks against the national body in the media.

The East Bengal General Secretary has been asked by the federation to explain why the AIFF should not take action against him under the AIFF'S Code of Ethics. Kalyan Majumdar has been given seven days to give a written reply to the showcause notice.

After the AIFF Executive Committee meeting on January 15 and the decision to reinstate Mohun Bagan AC into the I-League with zero points and a 2 crore fine, Kalyan Majumdar had said to the media that the decision was made possible by 'under hand and/or under the Table modus' which as expected the federation wouldn't take lightly.

Kalyan Majumdar further added fire into the story by saying that the expanded three match suspension of Odafe Onyeka Okolie was also an expected decision, but not a harch enough punishment.
