Hyderabad: The 5K run held on Friday at Charminar witnessed a goof up by Mr Mumtaz Ahmed Khan, the MLA of All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul Muslimeen (AIMIM) as he referred to PV Sindhu as a volleyball player.
While inaugurating the run the MLA was thanking the organisers 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.
