Sourav Ganguly's Gesture Amid Row Over Kolkata Rape Horror Comment Splits Internet
NDTV
Sourav Ganguly has taken a new approach to show his stance on the Kolkata rape-murder horror case.
Responding to criticism of him undermining the gravity of the horrific rape and murder case of doctor Moumita Debnath in Kolkata, former India captain and Kolkata resident Sourav Ganguly has now chosen to show his stance in a different manner. Ganguly - who had been slammed by many for allegedly calling the rape and murder a 'stray incident' - had stated on Saturday that his words had been taken out of context. Now, Ganguly has blacked out his DP on social media platform 'X', in apparent solidarity, but has prompted further varied reactions. #NewProfilePic pic.twitter.com/WiHJwDf6z1 Saurav you have the cheek to post black profile pic when you call this rape as a stray incident ??Shame on you !! Dada, you must speak against what's happened. Not just make token actions. Finally you have dared like you did against the AussiesThis is the Dada I know
On Monday night, Ganguly changed his DP to black, captioning it with the hashtag 'New Profile Pic'. Whilst Ganguly's intention may have been to provide solidarity and show his support for the victim and the subsequent investigation, not all users seemed to believe so.
Many chose to call out the former India captain for such an act, instead of directly addressing the issue.
