Congress asks spokesperson to delete post critical of Rohit Sharma, cautions her

NEW DELHI: The Congress on Monday reprimanded its spokesperson Shama Mohamed for fat-shaming Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma and asked her to delete her social media posts in which she made the comments and exercise greater caution in future.

Mohamed has now deleted the posts on X, posted late on Sunday night, that drew backlash from many, including BJP leaders. Her remarks came amid the Indian cricket team’s undefeated run at the ongoing Champions Trophy.

The Congress asserted that Mohamed’s remarks about the cricketing legend do not reflect the party’s position. PTI
