Jay Shah Becomes ICC Chairman Amid Controversy

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee took a sarcastic jibe at Union Home Minister Amit Shah by congratulating him for his son Jay Shah's appointment as Chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC). Banerjee's post on X subtly mocked the significance of Jay Shah's position, highlighting his rise despite not being a politician. This comes amidst ongoing criticism and protests in West Bengal following the rape and murder of a junior doctor, with Banerjee defending her stance against accusations of inciting violence. Jay Shah, the youngest-ever ICC Chairman, will assume his role on December 1, following a notable career in cricket administration. Banerjee's remarks have drawn mixed reactions, with some viewing them as politically charged given the backdrop of her ongoing disputes with BJP leaders.
