Congress spokesperson Shama Mohamed recently came under fire for referring to India’s cricket captain Rohit Sharma as ‘fat’ and ‘mediocre’ in a post on social media, which has since been deleted. Mohamed clarified that her comments were directed towards Sharma’s fitness levels. The Congress party, however, was quick to distance itself from her remarks, stating that they hold a deep respect for sporting icons like Sharma and do not support or condone such derogatory statements. The incident has sparked a debate on social media about the responsibility of public figures in choosing their words carefully, especially when it comes to criticizing well-known personalities. Mohamed has been asked to provide an explanation for her comments, as the controversy continues to garner attention online. This incident serves as a reminder of the scrutiny that public figures face in the age of social media, where every statement can quickly escalate into a full-blown controversy.
