New Delhi: Rajya Sabha MP Sudha Murty’s response to wrestler Vinesh Phogat’s disqualification from Paris Olympics 2024 did not go down with a section of the internet, which felt that her remarks were not appropriate.

“It happens. What to do. It is part of the game. I feel sorry about it. That’s all I can tell you,” Murty told news agency PTI outside parliament on Wednesday.

“Simplicity at its finest,” X user Ujyant Ramesh said sarcastically, taking a dig at Sudha Murty’s public persona of simplicity.

“Billions of Indians are heartbroken today because of disqualification of Vinesh. But this statement is like rubbing salt over it,” another user, with the handle named Amockxi FC, said.

“You protest. Can’t keep quiet,” one user said.

Another user, Aditya, had a more pragmatic reaction to Murty’s remarks.

“Sudha Murty ji is absolutely right. If we words pinch you, then it’s your problem. She is telling the truth in a practical way,” he said.
