Union Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports, Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, has strongly condemned remarks made by leaders from the Congress and Trinamool Congress (TMC) regarding Indian athletes. Taking to social media, the minister criticized these political figures for engaging in body-shaming and questioning the selection of a sportsperson in the national team.

"Congress and TMC should leave sportspersons alone as they are fully capable of handling their professional lives. Remarks made by leaders from these parties, indulging in body-shaming and questioning an athlete’s place in the team, are not only deeply shameful but also outright pathetic. Such comments undermine the hard work and sacrifices that our sportspersons make to represent the country on the global stage," Mandaviya tweeted.
