PV Sindhu, who became a household name after winning silver for badminton in 2016 Rio Olympics was in for an awkward moment on Friday, when an All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul Muslimeen (AIMIM) MLA couldn’t remember anything about who she was during his speech.
In the video doing the rounds on social media, Mumtaz Ahmed has a whispered conversation with the Deputy CM – who repeatedly nods at his words – before loudly telling the crowd, “We thank our national volleyball player.”
What’s worse, is that the MLA consulted none other than the Deputy Chief Minister M Mahmood Ali to figure out what Sindhu did to become famous and he tells something very disgusting.
Watch The Video Here:
In the video, we can see while inaugurating the run the MLA was thanking the organizers and other dignitaries present on the dais.
He looked confused when he was about to take PV Sindhu’s name and after whispering into the ears of Deputy Chief Minister Mr. Mahmood Ali, said,
“We are thankful to PV Sindhu, the volleyball player who has represented Hyderabad on an international platform.”
The Olympic silver medallist shuttler took it on the lighter side and was seen smiling at the misrepresentation. Sindhu’s parents are former volleyball players though.
The goof up by the MLA encapsulates the knowledge which our leaders have about non-political affairs. What’s your take on this?
