Congress spokesperson Dr Shama Mohammed body shamed Indian team captain Rohit Sharma for being fat . She posted this on her social media account in reference to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘ Be fit ‘ campaign.
In her social media post , she questions PM Modi whom he considers fit , Rahul Gandhi or Rohit Sharma? Sharma is “fat for a sportsman”. “Need to lose weight! And of course the most unimpressive Captain India has ever had!” she said.
The Congress 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.
Pawan Khera , Chairman of Congress’ media and publicity department said, “Dr. Shama Mohammed, National Spokesperson of the Indian National Congress, made certain remarks about a cricketing legend that do not reflect the party’s position.” “The Indian National Congress holds the contributions of sporting icons in the highest regard and does not endorse any statements that undermine their legacy “.
In her now deleted post, Ms. Mohamed asked what was so world class about the current captain when compared to his predecessors like Saurav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, M.S. Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Kapil Dev, Ravi Shastri and the rest.
