July 24, 2014 11:41
The Congress has described the BJP leader's statement against Sania Mirza as "bizarre'.
The TRS government has decided to appoint the tennis star as brand ambassador of the newly carved-out state.
The BJP leader has said that Sania was born in Maharashtra and settled in Hyderabad only later and, hence, is a "non-local".
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.
