Cricketer Mohammed Siraj trolled for tweeting on Pele, Heeraben Modi, “ignoring” Rishabh Pant
New Delhi: Indian cricketer Mohammed Siraj was on Friday trolled and slammed by netizens for posting tweets on football great Pele and Heeraben Modi who passed away today while not posting any tweets on fellow teammate Rishabh Pant who was involved in a road accident earlier in the day.
Siraj in a tweet expressed condolences to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the passing away of his mother Heeraben Modi. Fans urged Siraj to write a tweet for Rishabh Pant wishing him quick recovery, but did not get any response.
Siraj later posted another tweet for former Brazilian footballer and all-time great of the game Pele who passed away due to cancer. Furious fans flooded Siraj’s comment section questioning why he had not posted any tweets, or messages for Rishabh Pant.
The 25-year-old Rishabh Pant dozed off and lost control of his Mercedes early morning on Friday en route to his home in Roorkee. He was alone in the car. The accident happened at Mohammadpur Jat in Manglaur town of Haridwar district. He suffered injuries on his head, back, and feet but is in stable condition.
Both Pant and Siraj share a friendly bond in the Indian dressing room and are often seen having funny banters on the field and in the dressing rooms.
My Heartfelt condolences to our Hon. Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji on the sad demise of his mother, Smt. Heeraben Modi ji. Sorry for your loss. May her soul rest in peace 🙏🏼

Assam to lift all cases against Koch Rajbongshis in Foreigners' Tribunals: CM Himanta Biswa Sarma
Guwahati, Apr 4 (PTI): The Assam cabinet has decided to lift all cases pending against people from the Koch Rajbongshi community in the Foreigners' Tribunals, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Friday.
They will also no longer carry the tag of 'D' or doubtful voters, he said.
''There are 28,000 cases pending in different Foreigners' Tribunals in the state against people of the community. The cabinet has taken a historic decision of lifting the cases with immediate effect,'' Sarma said at a press conference here after the cabinet meeting.
The government believes that the Koch Rajbongshis are an indigenous community of the state and they are an inextricable part of ''our social and cultural fabric'', he asserted.
The people of this community are poor and have suffered a lot over the years, he said.
''They will no longer carry the tag of foreigners or ‘D’ voters,'' the CM said.
Foreigners Tribunals are quasi-judicial bodies, particularly in Assam, established to determine if a person residing in India is a "foreigner" as defined by the Foreigners Act of 1946, based on the Foreigners (Tribunals) Order of 1964.
These tribunals are designed to address matters related to citizenship and the presence of “foreigners” in India, specifically focusing on cases where someone is suspected of being an illegal immigrant.
There are 100 Foreigners’ Tribunals across Assam.
The Koch Rajbongshis have a sizeable presence in Assam, West Bengal, Meghalaya, and parts of Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan, and they demand Scheduled Tribe status.
