Pettiness on BJP’s part to give such statement: Nilotpal Basu

Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader Nilotpal Basu on Thursday said that it is pettiness on Bhartiya Janta Party’s part to comment on Sania Mirza and comment on the basis of her marriage.

Basu said, “I think it is the prerogative of the concerned state government and they in their wisdom have decided that she would be best representing the state.”

“As because she is the daughter of the state, she hails from it, so to counter post that with whomsoever she might have married is I think pettiness and nothing else,” he added.

Earlier today, Laxman called Sania Mirza the daughter-in-law of Pakistan while questioning the Telangana Government of her appointment as the state’s brand ambassador. (ANI)
