Former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly has rejected reports claiming that he acted as an intermediary between Mamata Banerjee and Yusuf Pathan regarding a possible by-election. In a statement, Ganguly described the allegations as untrue and said he never contacted Pathan on Banerjee’s behalf or conveyed any message asking him to resign from his elected position. The reports had suggested that Pathan was asked to vacate his seat to enable Banerjee to contest a by-election. Ganguly criticised the publication of the claims, saying they appeared to have been made without proper verification and in reckless disregard of the truth. He also clarified that Banerjee had never requested him to communicate with Pathan and reiterated that he has never been involved in political matters at any stage.
