Post India Champions’ WCL title win, the likes of Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Harbhajan Singh and others posted a video allegedly mocking people with disabilities.
New Delhi: Harbhajan Singh on Monday issued an apology after the former India spinner and his India Champions teammates posted a video on social media for allegedly mocking people with disabilities. The video, which was shot after India Champions defeated Pakistan Champions to win the World Championship of Legends, showed individuals like Harbhajan, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh and others limping and holding their backs.
The video didn’t go well with the disability rights group as National Platform for the Rights of the Disabled condemned the act as ‘totally disgraceful’. Reacting to that, Harbhajan posted a lengthy clarification on social media. “Just wanted to clear to our people who are complaining about our recent videos of Tauba Tauba on social media after winning the championship here in England. We didn’t want to hurt anyone’s sentiments. We respect every individual and community,” Harbhajan said.
“And this video was just to reflect to our bodies after playing continues cricket for 15 days. SORE bodies.. we r not trying to insult or offend anyone.. still if people think we hv done something wrong ..All I can say from my side. SORRY to everyone .. plz let’s stop this here and move forward. Stay happy and healthy. Love to all. Regards,” he further added.
