Congress Does Damage Control - Deletes Post Fat Shaming Rohit Sharma
"For a sportsman, rohit sharma is overweight! Weight loss is necessary! And, of course, India's least spectacular captain ever!" Her post has now been removed. Her remarks immediately sparked criticism, especially among cricket fans and bjp officials. In response to a user who referred to Sharma as a "world-class player," Mohamed questioned his legacy in comparison to indian cricketing greats such as Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, and Kapil Dev.
Mohamed's comments were promptly denounced by the bjp, which charged that the congress was "body-shaming" and demeaning a world cup champion. Radhika Khera, a bjp politician who defected from the congress and joined the party, charged that the congress had "humiliated athletes for decades."
"This congress, which denied athletes respect and ridiculed them for decades, now has the audacity to make fun of a cricket legend? A self-made champion is being lectured by the nepotistic party? "Khera said."
"Congress should worry about its own sinking dynast before taking cheap shots at India's pride!" she stated.
