Sania Mirza tells BJP I’m Indian till death

Sania Mirza has said on social media site twitter that she is Indian till death while reacting to the objections raised by Bhartia Janata Party (BJP) leader K Laxman against her appointment as the ‘Brand Ambassador of Telangana”. Laxman has reported said that  Indian tennis star was not born in Telangana and was misfit for the job as she is now the ‘daughter in law of Pakistan’.

Sania Mirza said this Thursday on twitter, “I am married to Mr. Shoaib Malik, who is from Pakistan. I am an Indian, who will remain an Indian until the end of my life.”

She further added, “I was born in Mumbai as my mother needed to be at a specialist hospital since she was seriously unwell at the time of my birth. I came home to Hyderabad when I was 3 weeks old.”

BJP leader K Laxman had objected the appointment of Sania Mirza as the brand ambassador of the newly created state Telangana stating that she was born  in Maharashtra and settled in Hyderabad only later, therefore, she was not a local.

Laxman further questioned the Indian roots of tennis star by saying she has married to a Pakistani national and now is ‘daughter in law of Pakistan’.

Sania Mirza never revoked her Indian citizenship after marrying cricketer Shaoib Malik and represent India in the international tennis events. BJP leaders do not question the appointment of Amitabh Bachchan who was born in Uttar Pradesh as brand ambassador of Gujrat.
