AICF factions continue fight in the open

The AICF’s five-member committee on Wednesday criticised Vijay Deshpande, who was illegally and undemocratically appointed AICF Secretary by P R V Raja (who himself is not a member of AICF) for spreading “false information” and accused him of using the national body’s letterhead despite a restraining order against him. Secretary and convener of the five-member panel Naresh Sharma took strong objections to Deshpande’s statement against the decisions taken by the AICF general body meeting held online recently.

“It may kindly be noted that there is a restraining order by the General Body to not use any of the AICF letterhead, website or any other legal AICF papers against (president) PR Venkatrama Raja, Deshpande and Kishore Bandekar as per the decisions taken in the online live meeting of the General Body on April 22,” Sharma said. “Yet, Deshpande has used the AICF letterhead claiming himself to be secretary and distributed another set of false information to the media,” he alleged.
