Star cricketer Yuvraj Singh's father and former Indian Test cricketer Yograj Singh got very angry at Congress spokesperson Shama Mohammad. Yograj even talked about expelling the Congresswoman leader who called Rohit Sharma fat from the country.

Congress national spokesperson Shama Mohammad had questioned Rohit's fitness and captaincy after he was out after scoring 15 runs off 17 balls during India's Champions Trophy match against New Zealand on Sunday.

Let's read what Yograj Singh said in sequence.

People of our country cannot say bad things about our players and our countrymen while living in this country. If someone sitting in the political system speaks about those players who have given pride to this country for so many years. Then he should be ashamed. Such people have no right to live in this country. Cricket is our religion. Whoever that woman is. That woman is like our mother or daughter, whom we respect. But it is like a mother killing her son after giving birth, a sister breaking her brother's rakhi after tying it, and a daughter throwing her father out of the house. This is what it seems. Action should be taken.

No one has the right to speak against their countrymen and players. This should never be tolerated and those who are doing this should be ashamed of making it a political issue. If I were the Prime Minister, I would tell him to pack his bags and leave the country. The Prime Minister should tell him to either apologize or leave the country. If he were a man, I would talk in a different accent and explain in Punjabi or Hindi or any language. But she is equal to a daughter, what should I say to her.'

What is the whole matter?

Shama Mohammed created a ruckus on social media with her post on 'X'. She had written that Rohit Sharma is unfit and he needs to lose weight! And he is certainly the most ineffective captain India has ever had.' Seeing the uproar, Congress distanced itself from the statement of its national spokesperson. It also called it a violation of decorum. Congress also asked her to delete the post. The height of shamelessness was reached when after deleting the tweet, Shama was found saying in front of the media that Rohit was 'fat for being a player.'

Sports Minister also came out in support of Rohit.
The country's Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya wrote on Instagram, 'Congress and TMC should leave the players alone as they are fully capable of handling their professional lives. The comments made by the leaders of these parties on the body of the player and the questions raised about his place in the team are not only extremely shameful but also completely pathetic. Such comments undermine the hard work and sacrifices of our players who represent the country on the global stage.

India in the semi-finals under Rohit's captaincy

It is important to tell you that India has reached the semi-finals of the Champions Trophy and will play the semi-final against Australia in Dubai on Tuesday. It topped its group by defeating New Zealand by 44 runs on Sunday. Meanwhile, former Indian fast bowler Venkatesh Prasad also criticized Shama. Not only this, BCCI also came out in support of its captain. Criticizing Shama, the board secretary Devjit Saikia said that it is unfortunate for a responsible person to make such a 'cheap' statement while the Indian team is playing in the Champions Trophy.
