When politicians came to the all-party meet on the women’s bill, they were taken aback by some of the questions posed to them. Journalists wanted their reactions to, if you please, the impending marriage of Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik. Farooq Abdullah, the minister for new and renewable energy gave the longest reaction:”If they wish to spend their life together why shouldn’t they do it? I totally support Sania Mirza. After all, she is also not getting younger day by day.” When RJD chief Lalu Prasad was asked to comment, he said, “But I came here to take part in the all party meeting on the women’s bill!” When pressed, he said he was in favour of it.
