A Local court In Bhopal issued summons to tennis star Sania Mirza for allegedly disrespecting national flag during a function some time back. The case was filed by a social worker Prakash Singh Thakur under the Prevention of Insult to the National Honor Act (1971). It is highly shameful that some people like to exaggerate the things too much. The picture is not capable of explaining the situation correctly and it is being interpreted in the wrong spirit.
Here I would like to Question Mr. Thakur Why he is not filing a suit against M/s Nirmala Devi , The self proclaimed Goddess for the gross disrespect for the tricolor? (Pictures shown above ) Sania is being penalized as she is a sports person and so called Nirmala Devi is being left untouched as she is a religious figure?
I want support from all of the Sania Fans to come together and fight it out.

Absolutely agree with you! I think we Indians are very keen on bringing down heroes as we are about making them.
Its such a shame that anyone can file a PIL in this country and cause distress to a celebrity merely because he is a clelbraty. I thinkh our government meeds to do something about it. I think we need a PIL seeking to prevent a PIL being filed against a person while he is serving the country. If anyone has a concern it should be raised with the association/ board to which the celebrity is registered and not aginst the individual. It will atleast allow the person to perform / play for his country without worrying about small things.

i could not have agreed with you more. In India it is a tradition to bring down the celebrities who have done so much for our country.Look at what Sania has done to the world of tennis in India it has become a popular career option for so many youngsters.To make a mountain out of a molehill is a fashion only in India.
