Sports ministry approaches UK Govt to for Sania son’s VISA

The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports has approached the UK Government, through the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), to grant a visa to her two-year-old son as she competes in the United Kingdom ahead of Tokyo Olympics.

Saina will be playing four tournaments in the United Kingdom, starting Nottingham Open, the Birmingham Open, Eastbourne Open and Wimbledon.

As of now only Saina got her visa, while her son and his caretaker didn’t got the go ahead for the visa.

Sports Minister Kirren Rijiju said: “We received this request for Sania a few days back, and I felt that it is important that as a mother Sania be allowed to take her two-year-old son along so that she can participate with a free mind without worrying for her child back home. I have approved the request and sports ministry officials have initiated the process with the MEA.

“The sports ministry’s effort has always been to provide every support to our athletes. We are hopeful that the UK Government will see merit in this case and allow the child to travel with Sania.”
