No more celebrations for KKR, innocent people were hurt: Captain
- 0
Kolkata Knight Riders captain Gautam Gambhir has slammed the celebrations at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata saying he has had enough of it, and if the team does win in the future, there would be no such celebrations.
"I must say I was disappointed by the inconvenience KKR's felicitation ceremony caused to Kolkatans. As it is cricket fans in India, who are the most important stake-holders, are not treated well." the KKR captain said in his final blog for Hindustan Times.
"To make matters worse there was lathicharge on innocents. God-willing my KKR team wins many more trophies but as far as I am concerned we're done with such felicitations." he added.
A huge crowd of more than a lakh people had gathered both inside and outside the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, where VVIP's like Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamta Banerjee were in attendance.
When the situation got out of control, the police officials lathicharged to maintain the law and order situation, which resulted in women and children getting hurt.
However, West Bengal minister Firhad Hakim dismissed the incident by tweaking one of Shahrukh Khan's most famous dialogues "Badi-badi events mein chhoti-chhoti baatein hoti rehti hain" he said, literally mocking the people hurt in the incident.
