Mitra’s Criticism

Sreelekha Mitra did not hold back in her criticism of Ganguly’s comments. “Sorry to say, Sourav Ganguly, I am really sorry for the way people have elevated you, your grandfather, and your cricket.

You call it an isolated incident!” Mitra took issue with Ganguly’s minimization of the incident and his suggestion that it should be seen as an isolated case rather than part of a broader issue.

Ganguly’s Statement on the Incident
