A controversy has erupted after Congress leader Shama Mohamed posted a now-deleted message on X, fat-shaming Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma. The remarks have sparked widespread outrage, with many condemning Mohamed's comments as unacceptable and body-shaming.

However, in a surprising turn of events, Mohamed has defended her remarks, stating that they were her personal opinions and not representative of her party's views. "This is my personal remark, don't bring my party into this," she said.

Mohamed further justified her comments, saying, "We can speak about someone's fitness, What's the issue in that? Since I am fit, I was only talking about his fitness. Why are you making an issue out of it?" Her response has only added fuel to the fire, with many criticizing her for failing to apologize and instead choosing to justify her hurtful comments.

The incident has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many calling out Mohamed for her insensitive remarks. Several leaders and sports personalities have also weighed in, condemning body-shaming and advocating for greater respect and kindness towards others.

Rohit Sharma, who has been the target of Mohamed's remarks, has not publicly responded to the controversy. However, his fans and supporters have rallied around him, expressing their outrage and disappointment over Mohamed's comments.
