Indian Football Federation Humiliates FIFA

In a dirty game policy of the All Indian Football Federation, the recently concluded Santosh Trophy in the country openly challenges the FIFA code of conduct.

The unbiased and doctored quarterfinal match between Goa and Manipur which ended up in controversial draw 1-1, will spark the suppressed fire within Manipuri players. These players have been facing humiliations since the time India occupied them by force in 1949. Mongoloid in origin, the people of Manipur are excellent in sports like their brothers and sisters in Asian countries like China, Japan, Korea and Thailand. Long humiliations and partiality of the government has compelled these people to free themselves from India once and all!

Without players from Manipur, football cannot be complete in India! This has jealous the progress and development of Manipur footballers throughout India.

The rule which have been in violation is about the start and restart of the game. In FIFA rulebook, there is a law number 8 which states,
