Congress women spokesperson Dr. Shama Mohammad made such a statement regarding the fitness of Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma, which created a ruckus. Congress leader Shama Mohammad had called Rohit Sharma a ‘fat’ player and advised him to lose weight. After this statement, many allegations are being leveled against her including insulting the captain of Team India. Meanwhile, another Shama Mohammad has shared another post. In which BJP MP Kangana Ranaut called the cricketers a dhobi ka kutta.
In the year 2021, Rohit Sharma had made a tweet in which he wrote about the unity of India. Kangana retweeted this and called all the Indian cricketers dhobi ka kutta. At that time, the farmers’ movement was going on in the country. Along with this, there was a controversy going on between Kangana Ranaut and Diljit Dosanjh on social media, in which she also lashed out at Team India.
What did Kangana Ranaut write?
Kangana retweeted Rohit Sharma’s tweet and said that why all these cricketers are sounding like Dhobi ka Kutta Na Ghar Ka Na Ghat Ka. Why would farmers protest against the districts which have been brought for their welfare. All these are terrorists. Say this that you are so scared.
Rohit Sharma had said in his tweet that India has always become stronger when we all stand together. At this time it is very important to find a solution to the problem together. The farmers of our country do a lot for the welfare of our nation and I am sure that everyone will play their role in finding a better solution to this problem.
What was Shama Mohammad’s post that caused a ruckus?
Shama Mohammad had written on X that Rohit Sharma is fat as a player. He needs to lose weight. Also, he is the most disappointing captain of the Indian team so far. In another post, she said that what is so special about him compared to former people like Ganguly, Tendulkar, Dravid, Dhoni, Kohli, Kapil Dev, Shastri. Apart from being an average captain, he is also an average player who has had the privilege of being the captain of India.
Apologised after the uproar
Seeing the controversy growing, Shama Mohammad clarified that it was a normal tweet about the fitness of the players. It was not a matter of body shaming. I felt that he was overweight, that’s why I tweeted. The party has distanced itself from this statement of Shama, after which she said that this is my personal statement and it has nothing to do with the party.
