MP Santosh Kumar is one of the 6 FIFA accredited referees in the country. He has been voted the best referee in the past two years and has officiated in some memorable matches such as "Nehru Cup in 2012, India's match against Bayern Munich in Baichung Bhutia's farewell game in 2011 and the recently concluded I-League final that saw Mohun Bagan lift the trophy"

And he drives an AUTO RICKSHAW to support himself!!!!

The government has promised him a govt job for the past 5 years and yet none has been given.

If this is the treatment given to the best in the country, what would happen to the rest?

Please sign this petition, our referees need as much support as our footballers, maybe more since this is all they have.
