Hyderabad: In a controversial remark, Telangana BJP leader K Laxman on Wednesday called tennis star Sania Mirza as "daughter-in-law" of Pakistan and questioned her credentials to be the brand ambassador of Telangana. Reacting to the incident, Congress described the BJP leader's statement against Sania Mirza as “bizarreâ€. The TRS government had of late decided to appoint the tennis star as brand ambassador of the newly carved-out state. Sania was born in Maharashtra and settled in Hyderabad only later and, hence, is a "non-local", the BJP leader told reporters here. He further sought to dub her as "daughter-in-law" of Pakistan, pointing out that she was married to that country's cricketer Shoaib Malik. The 27-year-old tennis player had never participated in agitation for a separate state of Telangana, said Laxman, who is leader of BJP in Telangana Legislative Assembly. He accused the government of taking the step with an eye on the minority community votes in upcoming elections to the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation. Handing over a grant of Rs 1 crore here on Tuesday, Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao appointed Sania as brand ambassador of Telangana and described her as a daughter of Hyderabad
One day members of ruling alliance shove food in a waiter's mouth. Other day another member defines what is patriotism and nationalism as per his whims and fancies. Things seem to have gone in endless cycle.

Retarded views... \however \i'm reading in various places media is twisting what he said and giving selective details... I hope they also make Saina Nehwal a Brand ambassador too... She also deserves that...

The Centre has also hit out at the BJP leaders saying she is the pride of India. Information and Broadcasting minister Prakash Javadekar said, "This isn't the BJP's position. She is the pride of India and she has earned her reputation because of her skills. Someone saying something isn't right." Former cricketer and BJP MP Kirti Azad said, "No one in Parliament will appreciate this. I condemn this why should regional, religious identities of sport stars be talked about. They are ambassadors of India first."

The girl is not related to the Sharif's' date=' though she is a paki.[/quote'] But she is a Pakistani - I guess they should now ask about the loyalty of a decorated soldier for this 'offence'.

Sania Mirza marries a Pakistani is a Pakistani. Sonia Gandhi marries an Indian is Italian.
Sonia Maino marries an Indian, becomes Indian. Sania Mirza marries a pakistani, remians Indian.

This is what I said about Digvijay Singh a few months ago:
Its not a case of persisting with him' date=' rather I think they have given him full liberty to give the unofficial party line on various issues on which the party cannot take controversial views like Diggy does. For ex in the Batla House case the Congress cannot come out openly and say that it was fake but Digvijay Singh can make a "personal" comment. Such statements are made way to often to be a slip of the tongue or mistake or sign of him being out of touch with the political reality. IMO this is simply the Congress' real view given out unofficially by these disgusting people like Diggy, Shakeel Ahmad, Satyavrat Chaturvedia etc.[/quote'] This is now happening in the BJP. Again and again some leader makes a controversial statement and then they say that its not the party line.

Sonia Maino marries an Indian' date=' becomes Indian. Sania Mirza marries a pakistani, remians Indian.[/quote'] Sonia Maino don't go in public saying I am an Italian and want to remain an Italian. Sonia Maino is not in public life of Italy, but of India's. Sonia Maino has spent her life's more than 40 years in India. When Sania Mirza has done all those for Pakistan, be my guest to call her Pakistani.
