This time too prior to the kick-off of the Hero I-League we met majority of the Clubs making them aware as what needs to be done in case of any crisis."

Referring to reports about Minerva Punjab Football Club footballers being approached by external forces Siraj stated, "I need to applaud the two Footballers who Recognised, Rejected and Reported the incident. We await an official complaint from the Club and will leave no stone unturned to protect the integrity of Football." (ANI)
