BCCI Issues Show-Cause Notice To KL Rahul And Hardik Pandya For His Comments In Koffee With Karan Show

Hardik Pandya has found himself in a dark situation after his sexist comments in the Koffee With Karan Show. He made quite a few remarks in the show by displaying his Desi swag. However, it hasn’t done anything good for him instead brought tonnes of criticism to him. Meanwhile, BCCI set to take an action on Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul.

Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya issued an apology on Wednesday after his appearance on the latest episode of Koffee With Karan drew criticism from every quarter for his ‘misogynist’, ‘sexist’, and ‘racist’ remarks.

“After reflecting on my comments on Koffee with Karan, I would like to apologise to everyone concerned who I may have hurt in any way. Honestly, I got a bit carried away with the nature of the show. In no way did I mean to disrespect or hurt anyone’s sentiments. Respect,” Pandya wrote on his Twitter page.

However, one of the BCCI officials feels that the apology tweet won’t do anything great for Hardik Pandya. The official lashed out at Hardik Pandya for his remarks on women during the show. He also felt that the all-rounder has responded to the outrage but not realised from his own thought process.

“This attempt at an apology does in no way bring the issue to closure. This merely shows how lightly he takes the gravely serious issue of respecting women. His conduct was unacceptable. He needs to understand the impact the utterances of an international cricketer have in this country but more importantly, he needs to learn how to differentiate between the right and the wrong. Right now he seems to merely respond to the outrage and not to his own thought process and conduct,” a senior BCCI official was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.

Show-cause notice issued for Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul:

For the same, the duo is in big trouble now. The two cricketers, who are facing criticism after the talk show Koffee With Karan, have got into serious trouble as a show cause notice has been issued by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for the comments made by them.

“We have sent show cause notices to Hardik Pandya and K L Rahul for their comments. They have been given 24 hours to give an explanation,” Chairman of the Committee of Administrators that runs the BCCI, Vinod Rai, told PTI.

However, it would be interesting to see how things would pan out for Hardik Pandya. Most probably, he hasn’t got any way to escape from it, as the show was already aired and also went viral.

Perhaps, Hardik Pandya would be punished for few games on a code of conduct. There is also a danger of Hardik Pandya involving in some legal issues.
