Sourav Ganguly appealed to his fans to desist from activities that disrupt normal life and expressed confidence that he would make a comeback to top-flight cricket by virtue of his performance.

"Life needs to get back to normal and any bandh will jeopardise public life, which is not right," Ganguly said in a statement.

Was it right to drop Ganguly?

Meanwhile, the Ganguly issue continued to echo in the top rungs of the BCCI, with its vice-president Goutam Roy threatening to step down if the 'wrong' done to the former Indian skipper is not 'redressed'.

"If justice is not given to Ganguly even after his performance at the Delhi Test (against Sri Lanka), I will resign," asserted Roy, who is also the Assam Social Affairs minister.

Roy said that he would take up the issue at the BCCI Marketing Committee meeting in Mumbai on December 20. "The entire country has been protesting against Ganguly's removal from the squad. The wrong has to be redressed and justice given to him," he said.
