Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Monday slammed Congress and the Trinamool Congress for making inappropriate comments on India skipper Rohit Sharma. This was after INC spokesperson Shama Mohamed had ‘fat-shamed’ Team India captain Rohit Sharma in a now-deleted X post. Mohamed, in a now-deleted X post, criticised Rohit Sharma during the India vs New Zealand Champions Trophy match on Sunday. She wrote in her post that Sharma is “fat for a sportsman.” “Need to lose weight! And ofcourse the most unimpressive Captain India has ever had,” she added. Trinamool Congress MP Sougata Ray had also echoed Shama’s thoughts earlier in the day. “I agree, this is not about politics, this is about cricket. How many days will Rohit Sharma be given a pass?

The Congress leader is correct in saying this. Even about his weight, there’s concern. Yes, he is overweight, but people don’t …
