"Rohit Sharma unfit nahi hai, Rahul Gandhi unfit hai"- BJP MP Sambit Patra's statement in Lok Sabha goes viral [Watch]

India captain Rohit Sharma led the side to a memorable 2025 Champions Trophy triumph at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on March 9. Ahead of the final, however, Indian National Congress party member Shama Mohamed sparked a controversy by saying Rohit was "fat for a sportsperson" on social media.

Shama's statement went viral on the internet, and while she retracted her statement later, the damage was already done. It drew negative remarks from the sports fans, and BJP MP Sambit Patra also joined in.

In a video from a Lok Sabha session that has gone viral on Instagram, Sambit Patra says:

"Ye Congress party kehti hai ki Rohit Sharma unfit hai. Rohit Sharma unfit nahi hai, Rahul Gandhi unfit hai. (The Congress party says that Rohit is unfit, but Rohit is not the one who is unfit, Rahul Gandhi is unfit)."

This session was reportedly held before the 2025 Champions Trophy final. Sambit Patra concluded by saying that India would win the Champions Trophy.
