“Bhaichung Bhutia is a role model. He is the pride of Sikkim and nation”, said Mr. Chamling to reporters on the sidelines of a seminar today here at Gangtok. He pointed out that the State government has already named a stadium in South after Bhaichung Bhutia.
Bhutia, who is from Tinketam village in South Sikkim, had recently claimed the feat of representing India for 100 games.
Sikkim Football Association (SFA) which is affiliated to All India Football Association (AIFF) has also congratulated Bhutia for his achievement.
“We extend our congratulations to Bhaichung Bhutia. We are really proud of him”, said Menla Ethanpa, general secretary of SFA. He pointed out the SFA has been regularly felicitating Bhaichung Bhutia and had last year organized a special exhibition match here at Paljor Stadium where Bhaichung Bhutia and his national team mates played against a Kolkata club.
