'Will raise in Parliament panel': SP MP after ‘surname’ row over cricketer Sarfaraz Khan's exclusion from Team India
Congress spokesperson Shama Mohamed questioned the exclusion of cricketer Sarfaraz Khan from the India A squad, suggesting his "surname" influenced the decision. This sparked political backlash, with the BJP accusing her of communalizing cricket. Samajwadi Party MP Zia ur Rahman Barq vowed to address the issue in Parliament if religion played a role in Sarfaraz's non-selection.
