Sack ‘Pakistani Bahu’ Sania Mirza as Telangana brand ambassador, demands BJP MLA

Sack ‘Pakistani Bahu’ Sania Mirza as Telangana brand ambassador, demands BJP MLA

The lone BJP legislator in the Telangana assembly T Raja Singh on Monday demanded the removal of tennis star Sania Mirza as the brand ambassador of Telangana because she is a “bahu of Pakistan.”

Known for his controversial and inflammatory comments, Singh said in a video message to Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao that it was time India cut off all its links with Pakistan in every form.

Singh’s demand came after the suicide attack in Pulwama in Jammu and Kashmir last week in which at least 49 CRPF personnel travelling in a bus to Srinagar were killed by a suicide bomber of Jaish-e-Mohammad.

“The way Pakistan-backed militants killed our Indian soldiers in an attack at Pulwama in Kashmir was unpardonable. The entire country has condemned the dastardly act perpetrated by our neighboring country,” he said.

Appreciating KCR, as the chief minister is popularly called, for cancelling all his birthday celebrations on Sunday as a mark of tribute to the killed soldiers, the BJP MLA appealed to the chief minister to display the same spirit in removing Sania Mirza as Telangana’s brand ambassador.

He said Sania Mirza ceased to be Indian as she had married a Pakistani.

“When the Indian government is making every attempt to isolate Pakistan and cutting off all its relations with the country in every field, it is not appropriate to continue Sania, a Pakistani Bahu, as the state’s brand ambassador,” he said.

Sania Mirza got married to former Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik in April 2010. And, the couple lives in Dubai most of the time. She gave birth to a baby boy in Hyderabad on October 30 last year.

Singh pointed out that there were other famous sportspersons from Telangana like cricketer VVS Laxman and badminton players Saina Nehwal and PV Sindhu, who had brought medals and laurels to the country.

“You can make any one of them as the brand ambassador, but we don’t want a Pakistani Bahu in that post,” he asserted.

The Telangana government declared Sania Mirza as Telangana’s brand ambassador in July 2014. Since then, she has been participating in the official programmes in the capacity.

There was no immediate reaction from Sania Mirza to Singh’s demand.

However, on Sunday, she gave a strong reply on Twitter to her critics who trolled her for posting her picture in a modern dress at a time, they said, when the country was mourning the death of the CRPF soldiers in an alleged Pakistan-backed militant attack.

Sania Mirza alleged that she was being targeted by some “frustrated individuals” because she was a celebrity. She said she didn’t need to condemn an attack publicly or come and scream from rooftops or all over social media that she was against militancy.

“We are against militancy and anyone that spreads.., but I will still be praying for peace,” she had tweeted.

“I play for my country, sweat for it and that’s how I serve my country. I stand with the CRPF men and their families, my heart goes out to them and they are our true heroes who protect our country.. 14th February was a black day for India and I hope we never have to see another day like this, no amount of condolences can make any of this better.. this day will not be forgotten and neither shall it be forgiven but YES I will stay pray for peace and you should too instead of spreading more hate,” she said.

Pakistan has potential to be among top 20 economies, says Saudi Crown Prince Salman

Paistan has the potential to become one the top 20 economies of the world, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman said on Monday as he concluded his two-day visit to Islamabad.

The Crown Prince briefly interacted with the media along with Prime Minister Imran Khan at Nur Khan air base at the conclusion of his first state visit to Pakistan.

“We saw the Pakistani economy grow by 5 per cent in 2018 so we believe that Pakistan has huge potential. It could be one of top 20 economies in the future, easily. If the efforts of the leadership, the people of Pakistan, and their allies come together, definitely it can reach that one day,” said Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman.

“So because of that, we believe in Pakistan. Because of our long relations…We want to be part of that journey and we want to risk our money, to risk our efforts, to start from day one… What we did today, it’s the beginning and we hope in the close future we do more and more partnering with Pakistan,” the crown prince said.

The Crown Prince thanked the Prime Minister Khan who drove him back to the air base. Khan and Army chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa saw off the royal guest at Nur Khan Airbase. Prime Minister Khan said the relations between the two countries were focused on economic ties. “The enhanced ties are just the beginning of future relations,” he said.

Khan added, “Pakistan’s geo-strategic location, the comparative advantage Saudi Arabia has in certain areas, and the advantages that Pakistan has – the combination augurs very well for the future.”

“We want you to consider Pakistan your second home. The PM House, where you were staying, rest assured that when you are in Pakistan … (you can) consider it your own house and come and stay there,” he told the visiting dignitary. Prince Salman responded by saying that he also feels “at home in Pakistan”.

Earlier, Prince Salman held one-on-one and delegation level talks with Khan and the two sides also singed seven MoUs and agreements worth USD 20 million.

The Crown Prince also met President Arif Alvi, General Bajwa and a parliamentary delegation of all political parties.
It was his first visit to Pakistan since his elevation as Crown Prince in April, 2017.

Worried about husband’s safety, Army man’s wife kills self

Ahmedabad: The wife of an Army jawan allegedly committed suicide in Gujarat’s Devbhoomi Dwarka district as she had become anxious about his safety, the police said Monday.

Meenakshi Jethwa (22) had become worried about her husband Bhupendrasinh’s safety especially in the wake of the attack on a CRPF convoy earlier last week, they said.

She was found to have hanged herself from the ceiling of her house in Khambhaliya town Saturday.

Her husband, posted at Gulmarg in Jammu and Kashmir, was visiting home on leave when the incident took place.
The couple had got married only two years ago.

Meenakshi did not want him to return to Kashmir, said a local police official.

Jethwa had told his wife about how he once narrowly escaped an avalanche while on duty.

This, in addition to the February 14 attack in which 40 CRPF jawans were killed, made her all the more apprehensive, the police official said.

“As the date of his departure neared, she got depressed and hanged herself,” the police official said, adding that further probe was underway.    PTI
