NCP's national spokesperson Clyde Crasto took to X, urging Shastri to use his influential voice, stating, "Mr. Ravi Shastri, you always say, 'Like a Tracer Bullet....' Well then, please say something about the bullets that have taken many innocent lives in Manipur."

Crasto further emphasized that Shastri should also express his views on the plight of women wrestlers who are fighting a case against BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who has been accused of sexual assault by the grapplers.

Mr. Ravi Shastri, you always say, "Like a Tracer Bullet...".
Well then, please say something about the bullets that have taken many innocent lives in #Manipur and also kindly opine on the fight and struggle of our women wrestlers who are seeking justice against a @BJP4India MP. https://t.co/qFGO5LDZWH
