July 25, 2014 0

Hyderabad, July 25 (ANI): Tennis star Sania Mirza said here on Friday that for her it is a matter of great honour to be the brand ambassador of Telangana. As far as representing the state worldwide and bringing it on the map I am sure there are more meetings and strategies that we will discuss but I think me representing Hyderabad, Telangana and most importantly India when I am playing is already representing the state in many ways. Over the controversy of Telangana Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader K Laxman opposing her appointment as the rand ambassador by saying that she was Pakistan’s daughter-in-law, she said that it’s pretty much done and there is no point talking about it now. With a CM like ours, he is moving forward and will surely take it forward.” Sania Mirza was declared the ambassador of the newly formed state of Telangana recently, but Telangana BJP leader K Laxman opposed her appointment, saying that she was Pakistan’s daughter-in-law.

July 25, 2014 0

Amritsar, July 25 (ANI): Congress Deputy Leader Capt Amarinder Singh warned Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on Friday against pushing the state towards a constitutional crisis by not only by abdicating his authority and responsibility as chief minister of the state, but also by building up an explosive situation that has the potential to spiral out control only to satisfy his personal ego and vested interests. “Chief Ministers are expected to adopt the constitutional means and methods and not resort to extra-constitutional blackmail which Mr Badal is trying to thrust”, he remarked, while referring to the protest Mr. Badal was planning to lead against the setting up of a separate Haryana SGPC. Asserting that Mr Badal was trying to force the Akali Dal against the Haryana Sikhs, Capt. Amarinder questioned the very logic of his protest against the Haryana SGPC, saying it was the part of Congress manifesto in 2004 and 2009 in response to the demand made by the Sikhs there. “Better you be cautious that in the mad pursuit of seeking the dismissal of Haryana government you may end up forcing your alliance partners to consider the dismissal of your own government as they (the NDA) also don’t seem to be happy about the way you are trying to push the state towards anarchy and chaos”, he warned Mr Badal, while asking him to give up his childish intransigence and reconsider his congregation in the interest of peace in the state of which he happens to be the chief minister.
