Ramya found herself in the midst of controversy, when she made comments sympathising with Pakistan and a sedition case was slapped against her by an advocate.
"Pakistan is not hell. People there are just like us. They treated us very well," she had reportedly said after a recent visit to Islamabad as part of a SAARC delegation of young lawmakers.
Her remarks had come as an ostensible counter to comments of Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, who while lashing out at Islamabad for promoting terror, had said last week, "going to Pakistan is same as going to hell."
