Congress leader Shama Mohamed's remarks on Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma sparked a political controversy, with the Trinamool Congress showing support for her statements. While Trinamool Congress MP Sougata Ray defended Mohamed's remarks on Sharma's fitness and captaincy, the Congress distanced itself from her views, emphasizing that they were personal and did not reflect the party's stance. The BJP capitalized on the situation, accusing the Congress of targeting the national cricket captain and insulting Indian cricket supporters.
