"I must admit with responsibility and sense, that I made the biggest mistake of my professional life in supporting Kalyan Chaubey's election in the AIFF and then assuming the position of the Secretary-General. The only person who cautioned me before the election was Bhaichung Bhutia," he wrote in a letter to the Presidents and Secretaries of AIFF Member Associations and Members of the Executive Committee.
