Hyderabad sources reported that BJP MLA Raja Singh on Monday demanded the removal of Tennis player Sania Mirza as the brand ambassador of Telangana. When calling her the 'bahu of Pakistan', the BJP MLA said that Sania Mirza ceased to be Indian as she had married a Pakistani.
Furthermore this message came in response, after the terror attack in Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir last week in which 49 CRPF jawans in a bus were killed by a suicide bomber of Jaish-e-Mohammad. Meanwhile in the video message which is being circulated on social media, Raja Singh, who is known for his controversial and inflammatory comments, appreciated Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao choosing not to celebrate his birthday on February 17 to extend condolences to the martyred soldiers.
Moreover suggesting players' names such as VVS Laxman, PV Sindhu and Saina Nehwal who have won many medals for India, the Goshamahal legislator said there was no need to make a Pakistani daughter-in-law Telangana's brand ambassador. Sania Mirza said, "She don't need to condemn an attack publicly, or come and scream from rooftops all over social media that we are against terrorism of course we are against terrorism and anyone that spread it that any person in their right mind is against terrorism and if they are not then that's a problem”.
