The Congress party, already struggling for relevance, has now extended its frustration to Indian cricket. In an unbelievable display of pettiness, Congress spokesperson Dr. Shama Mohamed echoed Pakistan’s bitterness over Rohit Sharma’s men storming into the ICC Champions Trophy semifinals. While Pakistan’s envy is understandable after their humiliating exit in the group stage, why is the Congress mirroring their resentment? Is it just another desperate attempt to prove their pro-Pakistan, anti-India credentials?
Dr. Mohamed mocked Indian captain Rohit Sharma for being “overweight” and labelled him the “most unimpressive captain India has ever had.” Body shaming a national sports hero? That’s a new low, even for Congress. She is as ignorant as her leader, Rahul Gandhi, who has publicly admitted to being a ‘joker’ and ‘Pappu.’ Rohit Sharma isn’t just a world-class batsman; he holds multiple records, including the most sixes and triple centuries, and has led India to major victories. Yet, Congress chooses to undermine him because he represents a confident, victorious India—something they detest.
On the contrary, under Rahul Gandhi’s leadership, the Congress has lost over 90 elections across India. What if one were to make similar remarks about his beard or choice of wearing t-shirts, deeming them unfit for a politician?”
Congress’s affinity for Pakistan is nothing new. Despite India fighting four wars to defend its sovereignty, the party has consistently downplayed national security concerns. They bask in the glory of the 1971 war victory but conveniently ignore the fact that it was Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw’s military genius, not Indira Gandhi’s political posturing, that won the war. They will gloat about past triumphs but refuse to acknowledge Narendra Modi’s bold decisions, including the surgical strikes after Pulwama and the Indian Army’s strong pushback against Chinese incursions. This is Congress’s hypocrisy at its peak.
Desperation is setting in within the Congress ranks. With electoral prospects looking grim after repeated Lok Sabha and state assembly defeats, their frustration has reached a breaking point. They have long waged war against India’s cultural identity, systematically erasing Sanatan Dharma traditions from history books while glorifying Mughal invaders. Under Congress rule, only members of a particular community were allowed to head the education ministry, ensuring a continuous distortion of Indian history. In contrast, the Modi government has worked tirelessly to correct this and bring a balanced perspective to education. With a third consecutive term—albeit with a reduced mandate—Modi is pushing forward with new education reforms, much to the dismay of anti-Hindu parties like the Congress, Dravidian outfits, and the Left.
Opposition to the three-language formula and the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) further exposes Congress’s agenda. The three-language policy aims to unite India, while the UCC ensures a single law for all citizens, ending discriminatory practices. But Congress and its allies vehemently oppose these reforms, fearing a dent in their minority vote bank politics. It’s clear—Congress does not want a strong, united India; they want a fragmented, vote-bank-driven nation.
Now, realizing the Modi government’s resilience and India’s unstoppable rise as an economic and military powerhouse, the opposition has turned its frustration on Indian cricket. Rohit Sharma’s team has been relentless, securing back-to-back victories, including a crushing defeat of Pakistan. This has triggered both Pakistan and Congress alike. The party’s soft corner for Pakistan has been evident for years—whether it’s Mani Shankar Aiyar seeking Pakistan’s help to remove Modi, Rahul Gandhi badmouthing India on foreign soil, or Sam Pitroda defending illegal migrants from Bangladesh and Pakistan.
If all these instances don’t convince Indians of Congress’s anti-India stance, what will? The party is so blinded by its hatred for Modi that it would rather side with India’s adversaries than celebrate its own team’s success. As Pakistan fumes over its embarrassing defeat, Congress follows suit, ridiculing Rohit Sharma and his men. But if India not only defeats Australia in the semifinals but also lifts the trophy, Congress will have to face the wrath of millions of cricket-loving Indians.
For a party that once ruled India for over six decades, this self-inflicted downfall is beyond tragic—it’s disgraceful.
