We strongly condemn the remarks made by a BJP leader from Telangana about Tennis player Sania Mirza. The BJP should apologise to the country for such an unacceptable utterance of its leader.
Such statements are not expected from a ruling party of the country, but the reluctance of the BJP to rein in its leaders and discourage them from making such reprehensible statements, shows that this party is returning to its core divisive agenda.
The remarks clearly smack of parochialism with clear communal overtones.
The AAP is of the clear view that a player who was born and brought up in India and still continues to represent the country, cannot be hurt merely on grounds of her marriage.
Statements from some Congress leaders, echoing the sentiments of BJP also deserve to be condemned.
The Telangana Chief Minister is right in calling Sania “a true Hyderabadi” and any attempts to spread misinformation in this regard, need to be strongly curbed.
