On Tuesday, a snapshot of an Instagram story from the 18-year-old Sana’s account was widely circulated among media outlets. Ganguly’s daughter had shared an excerpt from Khushwant Singh’s book ‘The End of India’ and many publications labelled this post as a remark against the CAA. After Ganguly rubbished that her daughter’s tweet was related to the CAA, Twitter went abuzz with responses to his tweet. Here are a few key reactions from politicians:
My dear friend Sourav Ganguly was not scared of Glen McGrath or Curtly Ambrose or Wasim Akram.
