Hardik Pandya
India all-rounder Hardik Pandya yesterday denied that he had posted derogatory comments against legendary social reformer Bhim Rao Ambedkar on social media. Hardik Pandya was embroiled in a controversy after a fake Twitter account bearing his name lashed out at Ambedkar for introducing reservation policy. "Who Ambedkar ??? The one who drafted a cross law and constitution or the one who spread the disease called reservation in the country," the tweet read.
