Didn’t say there is no respect for women in India: Sania
New Delhi: India’s tennis star Sania Mirza Wednesday took to Twitter to deny that she said there is no respect for women in India.
Sania Mirza was appointed the United Nations Goodwill Ambassador for the South Asian region by UN Women at an event held to mark the International Day To End Violence Against Women Tuesday, where she reportedly said that “women face discrimantion and are treated like animals”.
“Just to make a couple of things very clear – I did NOT say that there is no respect for women in India..i am the ambassador for the region,” she tweeted.
“And I would never be where I am today if the country had’nt given me all this love…but I am fortunate, very fortunate…there are milllions-of women who are less fortunate in this part of the world, and hav been victims of abuse, physical or sexual, hav not been allowed to follow their dreams cause they were a ‘girl’!,” Sania wrote on the social networking site.
The Grand Slam winner Tuesday said she intends to educate women about gender equality, which, in her opinion, is a cultural problem where women feel they are .
“I hav made myself very clear..and will stand for what I believe in and address the issue of gender inequality,” the 28-year-old tweeted.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
