The All India Football Federation (AIFF) once again courted controversy when one of its executive committee members accused the brass of harassing her during a meeting on Sunday. ADVERTISEMENTValanka Alemao, who is also the head of AIFF women’s football committee and member of Fifa women’s football committee, alleged that she was “heckled and harassed” during the national federation’s executive committee meeting in New Delhi. In a letter addressed to the committee members, she accused Chaubey, vice-president NA Haris, and deputy secretary general Muthyalu Satyanarayan of using an intimidating tone and making disrespectful remarks to “suppress her voice”. “I wish to place on record the entirely disgusting behaviour of the AIFF President Mr Kalyan Chaubey, Vice President Mr NA Haris and Deputy Secretary General M Satyanarayan. “The AIFF reiterates that all meetings and decisions of the federation are conducted strictly in accordance with its Articles of Association and established procedures,” the statement added.
