1983 cricket WC winning team member slams PM Modi for meeting players in dressing room
Asks "Would PM allow his supporters to enter his bedroom to console him?"
New Delhi: Former cricketer and member of the 1983’s World Cup winning team Kirti Azad on Tuesday slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for entering the players’ dressing room after their defeat to Australia in the final of World Cup on Sunday.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi met the Indian team players and lauded their efforts and congratulated them for reaching finals in their dressing room after the match.
Taking to his ‘X’ account, Azad wrote “The dressing room is the sanctum sanctorum of any team. @ICC does not allow anybody to enter these rooms apart from the players and the support staff. PM of India should have met the team outside the dressing room in the private visitors area,”
Azad, a two-term MP further questioned PM Modi if he would allow his supporters to come and console or congratulate him in his bedroom. “Would @narendramodi allow his supporters to come and console or congratulate him in his bedroom, dressing room or the toilet? #Sportspersons are far more disciplined than #politicians.” He added.
Similarly, the video of PM Modi’s meeting with the players in the dressing room, released to the media met severe criticism on social media platforms where netizens criticized Modi for using the moment of vulnerability of players as a PR stunt.

He was 62.
Soren was undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Delhi, where he was admitted on August 2.
"State Education Minister Ramdas Soren, who was undergoing treatment at a hospital in Delhi, is no more," Sarangi told PTI.
Soren's condition was critical and he was on life support, Sarangi said.
The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader was airlifted to the hospital in the national capital from Jamshedpur after he fell in the bathroom of his residence on August 2.
A multidisciplinary team of senior specialists was closely monitoring his condition and providing intensive medical care.
Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren condoled his death.
Hemant Soren, in a post on X, wrote, "Ramdas Da (brother) should not have left us like this. Last greetings to Dada..."
Ramdas Soren, born in Ghorabandha village in East Singhbhum district on January 1, 1963, began his political journey as the gram pradhan of the Ghorabanda panchayat, eventually rising to become one of the most influential ministers in the Hemant Soren-led cabinet.
He won the Ghatshila assembly seat for the third time in 2024 by defeating BJP's Babulal Soren, son of former chief minister Champai Soren.
