Sania’s Grandfather Served As Warangal MLA; Family Has Deep Roots In Telangana

The embarrassments continue for Telangana BJP, which has gunned for Sania Mirza over her place of birth, among many other things.

The BJP leaders claimed she was born in Maharashtra and her family migrated to Hyderabad in 1980s. But reports say Sania Mirza’s family has ties to Telangana for more than a century and that the family is shocked over the baseless controversy. Sania’s grandfather W. Mirza Shukoor Baigh even served as an MLA from Warangal during 1957. He was a legal giant and a poet.

Telangana BJP’s misogynist comments failed even on the basic facts about Sania’s family lineage. Sania may put out a press statement shortly on this whole unwanted controversy.
