NEW DELHI:

Mohammed criticised Sharma's fitness and leadership in now-deleted social media posts, prompting the Congress to issue a clarification and ask her to remove the statements.

"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," said Pawan Khera, senior Congress leader and national spokesperson, in a post on X. "She has been asked to delete the concerned social media posts from X and has been advised to exercise greater caution in the future."
