00:08latest news update.
00:10After defeating Pakistan in the World Champions Legends Final, Indian team player and former
00:14Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh posted a video on his Instagram in which he was accompanied
00:19by Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina.
00:21In the video, he acts like he's exhausted after a leg day, leg workout, at the gym to
00:26the song Tuba Toba from the movie Call.
00:29In the Instagram post, which has now been removed, Harbhajan tagged actor Vicky Kaushal
00:34and wrote, Body has repented in 15 days of Legends cricket.
00:38The body parts are showing.
00:40The video has been heavily criticized and many users believe it amounts to making fun
00:44of people with disabilities.
00:46India's Parabadmanthan star Manasi Joshi, who has lost one leg, has criticized the move,
00:52terming it as senseless.
00:54Expressing his disappointment, Manasi said that the action of the players has hurt the
00:58sentiments of disabled people.
01:00Manasi wrote that responsible behavior was expected from players like you.
01:05This is no joke.
01:06Don't insult disabled people.
01:08Manasi added that the video could encourage the mockery of people with disabilities, which
01:12would bully many children and youth with disabilities.
01:15After this controversy, a group working for the rights of persons with disabilities has
01:19filed a complaint against these cricketers.
01:22A user named Suresh Nika wrote, Being a disabled person, I feel that this video intentionally
01:27insults disabled people and is a violation of section 92 of the Rights of Persons with
01:31Disabilities Act, 2016, which is punishable by imprisonment for up to 5 years.
01:38Many Indian and Pakistani users believe that the video was made to make fun of Pakistani
01:42players in World Champions Legends.
01:44Richard Kettleborough asked if he was making fun of the current Pakistani fast bowling
01:48unit that gets injured every two months.
01:51Harbhajan Singh has apologized in a statement and said that his intention was not to hurt
01:55anyone's heart.
01:57He said that we respect every person and community and the purpose of this video was just to
02:01show what happens to our body after playing cricket for 15 days.
02:05Harbhajan says if anyone thinks we have done something wrong, I apologize on my behalf
02:10and now end it here.
