FOES CAN BECOME FRIENDS 

SANIA MIRZA : DAUGHTER CUM DAUGHTER IN LAW : GOODWILL AMBASSADOR



A BJP MP has raised serious objections against the Telangana government appointing Sania Mirza as its Brand Ambassador on the ground that she is the daughter in law of Pakistan.This criticism has been roundly condemned in the country even by BJP Ministers.

Sania Mirza is one of the greatest tennis players that India has produced. She has equalled the cricket stature of Sachin in Indian Tennis World. She would indeed be a great Brand Ambassador as she belongs to Hyderabad.

Narendra Modi has been rightly making efforts to establish friendly relations with Pakistan which is essential for peace in the region. Some parties have been unwisely trying their best to derail this process .The BJP should not bother about them. So long as you are doing something for the good of the people you should not be deflected by any criticism.

I would regard Sania Mirza as a great opportunity for India for improving its relations with Pakistan. If the BJP appoints this great daughter of India who also happens to be the daughter in law of Pakistan, as its goodwill Ambassador to Pakistan just imagine what this could do for friendship between India and Pakistan and also change the image of BJP among the Muslims of India as well as Pakistan.

It could become a game changer.
