Sourav Ganguly Reacts To His Daughter Sana Ganguly's Instagram Post Over Citizenship Amendment Act

BCCI President Sourav Ganguly has finally reacted to the news of his daughter Sana Ganguly being all over the news because of her latest Instagram story in which she expressed her thoughts about the ongoing protest in different parts of the nation in the wake of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

The Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019, seeks to grant Indian citizenship to refugees from Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist and Parsi communities fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh and who entered India on or before December 31, 2014. The Citizenship (Amendment) Bill was passed by Parliament a week ago and became an Act when President Ram Nath Kovind gave his assent to it on November 12.

Youth across the country have been standing in solidarity with Delhi’s Jamia Millia Islamia University students against the police crackdown on protesters. And 18-year-old Sana too decided to follow suit. She took to Instagram to express her thoughts. She shared an excerpt from Khushwant Singh’s ‘The End of India’ and voiced her dissent.

“Every fascist regime needs communities and groups it can demonize in order to thrive. It starts with one group or two. But it never ends there. A movement built on hate can only sustain itself by continually creating fear and strife.

“Those of us today who feel secure because we are not Muslims or Christians are living in a fool’s paradise. The Sangh is already targeting the Leftist historians and “Westernized” youth. Tomorrow it will turn its hate on women who wear skirts, people who eat meat, drink liquor, watch foreign films, don’t go on annual pilgrimages to temples, use toothpaste instead of danth manjan, prefer allopathic doctors to vaids, kiss or shake hands in greeting instead of shouting ‘Jai Shri Ram’. No one is safe. We must realize this if we hope to keep India alive” she shared via an Instagram story.

Sourav Ganguly’s response:

With Sana Ganguly all over the news due to her latest Instagram activity, her father Sourav Ganguly took to Twitter to state that the post shared by his daughter was not true. He also urged everyone to keep his young girl out of all the issues.

“Please keep Sana out of all this issues .. this post is not true .. she is too young a girl to know about anything in politics,” wrote the former India skipper.
