Aroop Biswas labelled the century-old club as an institution whose “the path-breaking journey is important” while congratulating them for their historic feat.
“I would like to congratulate Mohun Bagan from the bottom of my heart for their stupendous success. I would request the century-old club to strengthen their Academy so more Bengali youngsters get the opportunity to represent at the highest stage,” he asserted.
“For an institution like Mohun Bagan winning a trophy is not the primary target. For a club that has won 200-odd trophies over time, the path-breaking journey is more important,” he further said.
