Mathias Boe vs Kiren Rijiju
In 2021, Mathias Boe urged the then Union Youth Affairs and Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju to intervene in Taapsee Pannu's matter as the Income Tax (IT) department conducted raids at her premises. Boe had written on X, "Finding myself in a bit of turmoil. Representing India for the first time as a coach for some great athletes, meanwhile, the I-T department is raiding Taapsee's houses back home, putting unnecessary stress on her family, especially her parents. @KirenRijiju please do something."
Rijiju replied, "Law of the land is supreme and we must abide by that. The subject matter is beyond yours and my domain. We must stick to our professional duties in the best interest of Indian Sports."
