Dhaka, Feb 15 (worldsport7.blogspot.com) – Bangladesh Football Federation president Kazi Salahuddin has refuted allegations of running office in breach of laws, made in an anonymous letter to game's global governing body FIFA.
FIFA development officer Monilal Fernando forwarded the two-page letter to the BFF on Feb. 11 after it had received the so-called complaint a few days back.
"I will take up the issue with the BFF executive committee which will decide whether it should be investigated," Salahuddin told a crowed press briefing at the BFF House on Sunday.
"If the committee decides to investigate, it should investigate two things— whether I am breaching the system, and the identity of the person who made the complaint to FIFA," said the legendary footballer.
The complaint said he would make decision all by himself and then put it before others saying that he had made the decision, leaving no room for a vote.
It was alleged that the BFF president favoured his loved and near ones.
The letter referred to the appointment of BFF technical director Shahidhur Rahman Shantoo to cite an instance of 'nepotism'.
"The designation of Technical Director of BFF is a very prestigious and important one and should only be held by a person with extensive knowledge of football, not only domestic but also international."
BFF vice president Kazi Nabil Ahmed defended the appointment and said everything followed procedure.
"The development committee first forwarded the name of the technical director to the executive committee meeting and the meeting having discussed the proposal appointed the technical director," said Nabil, chairman of the BFF development committee.
The complainant asked FIFA to take the issues seriously and do the necessary investigations to put things back in order in the BFF.
The letter also urged FIFA to contact a former BFF president for evidence.
