Save Indian Cricket icon, Sourav Ganguly, from constant malicious tirades of Greg Chappell

We Indian cricket lovers are greatly shocked, flabbergasted and humiliated by the very recent sweeping, deliberate comments of Mr. Greg Chappell, the current Indian national Cricket team coach towards statistically the most Successful Indian cricket Captain , an illustrious international cricket icon , the BBCI A grade player --Mr.Sourav Ganguly.

The conscious interview given by Mr. Greg Chappell to Guardian of English media was without any provocation from any sector of Cricket or from the person on whom the comments were thrust upon.

We Indians experience this interview a deliberate ploy of Mr. Greg Chappell, where he wanted to malign profoundly the image of Mr.Sourav Ganguly in public.

We Indians just can't digest these continuous hatred and tirades from a non Indian like Greg Chappell toward a phenomenal Indian national cricket character.

We Indians are especially extremely annoyed and upset over Chappell's comments that the former Indian skipper wanted to cling on to captaincy because of financial reasons. For a person like Sourav Ganguly who grew up in a 22-bedroom mansion with 35 relatives and 24 cars, we Indians feel that allegation of continuing cricket for financial reason - is an affront of highest degree to him.

Sourav Ganguly being a national pride and International ambassador of the game, Cricket .we feel that our national image has been tarnished with this 'conscious' remark of Greg Chappell. It is needless to say that cricket, the game of etiquette, and its fraternity both have been humiliated as well with this malicious statement.

On behalf of --- Indian cricket lovers, former Indian cricket captain Mr.Sourav Ganguly, www.welovesourav.com and its fraternity, world cricket fraternity and finally countrymen we bring this very disturbing issue into the notice of Sports ministry of Govt. Of. India and Board of Cricket Control of India (BCCI) with a very strong demand that -

1. Govt. Of India should take an immediate action with an exemplary effect so that in future none can play around with and malign our country's prides and heroes from different walks of life.

2. BCCI must take necessary exemplary action with immediate effect against Greg Chappell for making such a baseless obnoxious comments towards a very reputed Indian cricketer like Sourav Ganguly.

3. Mr. Greg Chappell has to withdraw immediately his recent comments made at Guardian which we all feel fraught with personal vendetta towards Mr. Sourav Ganguly

4. Mr. Greg Chappell has to request Mr. Sourav Ganguly in public or media to forgive the former for his nefarious ploy.
