Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Anurag Thakur and secretary Ajay Shirke were on Monday sacked from their posts by the Supreme Court of India.
Thakur was charged with perjury and removed for not falling in line with the Lodha Panel recommendations. Naturally, this big news of the day caused quite a stir on twitter with people going all-out to express their views on the highest court's strict action.
Here are some of the best tweets:
Supreme Court prohibits the use of caste, creed, language or religion for seeking votes in an election.

Supreme Court should stick to its limit. Asking for votes on caste must be allowed. But votes on Hinduism has to be banned.

Will the Supreme Court allow the ousted administrators to form an alternative board called Rest of India

Expect the BCCI reply to be on the lines of, "We have not read the court ruling yet so cannot react, called for an AGM on..."
