Exclusive: Sania-Shoaib wedding reception Video
HYDERABAD: Former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik, who got married to Indian tennis star Sania Mirza this week, moved the Indian High Court on Thursday for return of his passport.
The counsel for Malik requested the judge for hearing on the application but the judge said it can be heard on Friday and posted the matter accordingly. Malik’s passport is in the possession of a local court.
Hyderabad Deccan police had taken away Malik’s passport on April 5 and had asked him not to leave the country after a case was registered against him over a complaint from Ayesha Siddiqui who claimed to be Malik’s first wife.
After Malik divorced Ayesha, the Siddiqui family submitted an application to Hyderabad Police to withdraw the case against the all-rounder
Hyderabad, April 13 (IANS) A day after Sania Mirza’s marriage with Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik, wedding ceremonies began at the residence of the Indian tennis ace here.
The bride and her bride-groom arrived at her residence in Jubliee Hills Tuesday, formally kicking up series of ceremonies. The couple stayed at Taj Krishna hotel after their ‘nikah‘ Monday afternoon.
Since Sania and her husband were paying first visit to the house after the marriage, they were given a traditional and warm welcome by her parents. Imran Mirza and his wife Naseema along with other family members came out of the house to receive the newly-wed couple.
‘Mehendi’, a pre-wedding ceremony, began Tuesday with the arrival of relatives and close friends of Sania and family members of Shoaib at Sania’s house, which has been decked up and illuminated for the occasion.
‘Sangeet’, a ceremony with musical programme, is scheduled to be held Wednesday while Sania’s family will host a gala wedding reception at the hotel. The bride’s uncle and Gazal singer Talat Aziz is set to perform at ‘Sangeet’.
Sources close to the family said since the two families advanced the ‘nikah’, the pre-wedding ceremonies like ‘mehendi’ were being held after the wedding.
Sources said the ‘nikah’ was advanced to avoid further controversies. Islamic scholars Sunday issued a ‘fatwa’ terming as un-Islamic the proximity between Sania and Shoaib before the marriage.
Sania’s family earlier stated that ‘nikah’ would take place April 15.
Shoaib, 28, wed the 23-year-old Sania at a brief and simple ceremony held at the hotel. Under ‘nikahnama’ or marriage contract, the former Pakistani skipper agreed to pay Rs.61 lakh as ‘mehr’ to Sania.
The Pakistani batsman last week divorced his first wife Ayesha Siddiqui after a bitter row surrounded the three families for a fortnight.

Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik married Indian tennis star Sania Mirza at a "nikah" ceremony held at Hotel Taj Krishna in Hyderabad today, a spokesperson for the bride's family said.
"The 'nikah' is now completeed. Please pray for the couple," Rucha Nayak, the spokesperson told reporters outside the hotel.
Sania, 23, was clad in a red saree that her mother Nasima wore for her "nikah" 25 years ago, sources said. The 28-year-old former Pakistan cricket captain wore a black sherwani designed by Shantanu and Nikhil, they said.
The media was taken a bit by surprise when the two families announced this morning that the wedding would take place today. Earlier, there were reports that the ceremony would take place on April 9. Another version said the wedding would take place on the morning of the reception, scheduled for April 15.
According to the sources, the "mehandi" ceremony will take place tomorrow and the "sangeet" the day after.
The two sports stars had surprised their fans by announcing on March 29 that they were getting married. Only weeks earlier, Sania had opted out of an engagement to Sohrab Mirza, also of Hyderabad, citing reasons of incompatibility.
It was a stormy run-up to the wedding, with a Hyderabad girl, Ayesha Siddiqui, in her mid-30s, saying that Shoaib had married her in 2002.
What followed was an emotional roller-coaster ride for all concerned for a full week, with all of India and Pakistan watching spell-bound.
Shoaib denied he had married Ayesha and maintained that he, in fact, had never met her.
Ayesha insisted she had been married to him and that they had shared an intimate relationship and claimed she had evidence to back all this up. She filed a complaint with the police, and they turned up at Sania's house to question Shoaib. They also impounded his passport and mobile phone.
Ayesha claimed Shoaib had lost interest in her because she had become obese. All she wanted, she said, was a divorce so that she could move on in her life. Shoaib, of course, said there could be no divorce, because there had been no marriage in the first place.
KARACHI: Former captain of Pakistan cricket team Shoaib Malik has expressed gratitude for nation and media for supporting him.
In a statement, Shoaib said he is thankful to God and Pakistani nation who extended full support during his tough times. He said God knows everything and said he will personally thank the media friends as soon as he reach back home.
“ I apologize if anyone feels hurt as far as my decision is concerned,” Shoaib added.
On the other hand, Indian police said investigations are on as the case against Shoaib Malik has not been abolished.
Imran Qadri, a community elder in the Indian city of Hyderabad, said Malik divorced Ayesha Siddiqui on Wednesday.
The Siddiqui family have now withdrawn a police complaint against Malik over his plans to wed Mirza, Mr Qadri said.
Shoaib signed the talaq nama (divorce papers) after leaders said that the public splashing and scrutiny of the episode had brought a bad name to the community.
The police complaint against Shoaib was taken back and it was agreed that the cricketer would pay a maintenance amount of Rs.15, 000 paid to Ayesha as per Islamic law
Ayesha’s mother expressed relief and said her daughter had finally received justice.
“My daughter wanted a divorce without money and that has happened. Malik has come clean and I am very happy and relieved that finally he gave a divorce. The charges on him have been withdrawn. The complaint application has been withdrawn,” she added
There was no immediate comment from Malik or Mirza. He had accused the Siddiqui family of deceiving him.
since Malik is staying at Sania’s house in Hyderabad, it has been assumed that the Taj Krishna hotel has been booked not for the Nikah, but for a reception, scheduled to take place on April 15.
Sania’s wedding card, which has only the reception date, has also added fuel to the fire in the case. The news came at a time when several people claimed that the date of marriage would be postponed.

announcement,’’ said a person close to the Mirza family.
As Ayesha continue with her tirade of allegations, Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik is drawing support from his former team-mates, with other sports personalities of Pakistan as well as film stars throwing their support behind Shoaib’s innocence.
Coming out strongly in favour of Shoaib, his former teammate and ex-cricket team captain Rashid Latif said the Ayesha shown on TV was not the not his colleague had fallen in love with.
“Shoaib Malik used to borrow my laptop for chatting with a girl and he did show me a few pictures of her. I can assure you that the girl I saw in pictures is not the one on TV these days,” Latif was quoted in media reports from Pakistan.
“I can go to any forum including a court of law to reiterate my statement, and I appeal to all cricketers to stand by Shoaib Malik on this issue,” he added.
Pakistani hockey player Rehan Butt has also come out in defence of Shoaib.
“This is another instance of where the Indian media is holding a media trial of Malik without knowing the truth. He has gone there to marry an Indian girl and that is something they can’t digest,” Butt said.
Star actor Saud has urged the media to let Shoaib and his would-be-bride Sania Mirza settle the matters alone.
“It is a personal matter involving Malik, Mirza and even Ayesha. It is something they have to resolve among themselves. Why spoil their happiness?” asked Saud.
Actress Meera, on the other hand, maintained that the media coverage on Ayesha’s allegations has helped garner support for Shoaib in India.
“The way he is being portrayed in the Indian media, there is a lot of sympathy for him now,” she said.
Hyderabad girl Ayesha and her family have claimed that Shoaib had married her over phone but later dumped her due to 'weight issues'.
The cricketer has been maintaining that Ayesha’s family had cheated him by sending photographs of a different girl and he had backed out when he found out that he had been duped.
Ayesha has moved criminal proceedings against Shoaib and the later has also been questioned at the Mirzas residence at Hyderabad on Monday.
Shoaib and Sania are scheduled to tie the knot on April 15 at Hyderabad.
Addressing the media in Hyderabad on Monday evening along with Malik, Sania backed Shoaib and declared that their marriage would take place as scheduled on April 15.
"I am standing by my future husband to clear his name," she said.
"There is no reason for the marriage to be postponed. It will take place on April 15. If there is any change we will inform you. I am standing here by my future husband to clear his name.
"All our well-wishers are shocked by this. The entire drama has left a very bad taste in our mouths. Shoaib never misled me or any members of my family. There was never a marriage, so there is no question of divorce. We are well aware of what the truth is," she added.
Shoaib asked Ayesha to come out in the open and present her defence.
"Why is Ayesha not coming out in the open. Why is she making statements against me behind camera," he said, adding he will not apologise to Ayesha over her claims that he had cheated on her after she was married to him.
"The Siddiquis are doing all this for cheap publicity," he said.
Earlier in the day, the Hyderabad police seized Shoaib's passport and asked him not to leave the country.
Twenty-nine-year-old Ayesha was also questioned by the police, which is trying to verify authenticity of the nikahnama, cited by the Siddiqui family, and a photo of her with the 28-year-old Shoaib.
NEW DELHI: Pakistani cricket star and former captain Shoaib Malik reached today at the house of his wife-to-be Sania Mirza, India’s top tennis star, Geo 436 News reported Saturday.
In a latest video captured by the local media, Shoaib was seen standing at the terrace of Sania’s bungalow situated in Jubilee Hills of Hyderabad, where he made a surprise and unexpected visit to meet his fiance.
Shoaib’s surprise visit came amidst controversy brewing between the Maliks and the Siddiquis, who claim their daughter Ayesha got married to Shoaib Malik in 2002.
Shoaib Malik was caught on camera speaking over the phone on the balcony of Sania Mirza’s residence. Shoaib, Sania Mirza and her mother are seen together at the tennis ace’s residence in Hyderabad.
Sources said that Malik, who arrived in the city last night, preponed his visit 11 days ahead of the wedding scheduled on April 15, to workout the details, even as Pakistani television reports indicated that the venue would be shifted to a neutral venue most likely Dubai.
Earlier, reports suggested that Malik’s family has been granted visas by the Indian High Commission from April 6 onwards. Reports had then said that Shoaib was expected to come to India only on April 11. However, this unexpected visit is likely to spark more controversy for the Pakistani cricketer.
Earlier, Ayesha Siddiqui, who claimed to be Malik’s wife, sent legal notice to Shoaib and his brother-in-law Imran Zafar at the addresses of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Sialkot.
Talking to Geo 436 News, Barrister Farooq Hasan said Siddiqui’s family decided to file and pursue case in Pakistan against the marriage and he has been contacted for the purpose.
Under present circumstances, Sania’s family is not in favour of wedding to be held in India; instead, the ceremony would be held in Dubai in view of aggressive mood of Siddiquis. It is expected that Valima reception will also be held on the same venue, as both the families want to avoid any untoward incident.
However, the booking for April 22 at a Lahore hotel has not been cancelled as yet by the Maliks.
Sania says knows the truth
NEW DELHI: Her prospective groom is facing allegations of marrying and dumping a woman, but Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza backed Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik on the matter, saying that she and her family have known the truth all along.
Although she did not mention Shoaib directly, Sania's latest twitter feed clearly supported her husband-to-be, who has been accused of cheating a Hyderabadi girl Ayesha Siddiqui after a telephonic nikah.
"Me and my family know what the truth is, we've known it all along and we have confidence in god's justice," Sania said.
The 24-year-old has been flayed by the Shiv Sena and some other right wing parties for deciding to marry the Pakistani all-rounder.
Getting ready for the "biggest day" of her life, Sania said she never thought she would have to deal with so many things apart from the regular pre-wedding jitters.
Ayesha wants official divorce
NEW DELHI: Turning the heat on Shoaib Malik before his April 15 marriage to Sania Mirza, Ayesha Siddiqui and her family today threatened to sue the Pakistani cricketer and made it clear that the unsavoury chapter will be closed only if she gets an "official divorce".
Ayesha, who claims to have married Shoaib in 2002, went the whole hog on Friday circulating copies of her 'nikahnama' to Pakistani and Indian channels where she poured her heart out on the break-up.
The marriage certificate was shown by several Pakistani television channels and apparently contained the signatures of Shoaib on the column for the groom and the name of Maha Siddiqui on the column for the bride.
"I have released this marriage certificate because Shoaib and his family have constantly been denying this marriage," Ayesha said.
28-year-old Shoaib is all set to tie the nuptial knot with 23-year-old tennis sensation Sania on April 15 in Hyderabad, which will be followed by a reception in Lahore.
"The only thing I want now is an official divorce from him, but it has to be in the open and not behind closed doors because he can always then deny it later as he has the marriage. I want to end my ordeal, I want to move on and put a stop to people asking me questions constantly about my marriage to him. Even an official ‘talaq, talaq talaq’ will do," she said.
Her father M A Siddiqui threatened to file a case against Shoaib if he went ahead with the marriage to Sania without divorcing Ayesha.
While the Siddiqui family claims Shoaib is married to their daughter and Sania would be his second wife if they go ahead with the marriage, the Pakistani cricketer and his family have constantly denied that he ever entered into any wedlock with Ayesha.
Siddiqui has threatened to sue Malik and also seek a fatwa against him from Ulemas.
Ayesha said that she had released the Nikahnama because it proved that the marriage did take place. "They are signatures of witnesses on the certificate and Shoaib sent me a copy for signature and a 'Haq Mahar' amount of Pakistani 500 rupees," she said.
She said that Shoaib had always been unhappy with her weight problems and for his sake, she had even gone and had a surgery in Delhi.
"But I am devastated the way he is constantly denying everything. I have nothing against Sania but the truth must come out," Ayesha said.
Malik-Siddiqui row enters legal twist
NEW DELHI: The controversy over Sania Mirza’s marriage to Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik gets uglier, as the Siddiquis, who claim that the cricketer married their daughter Ayesha in 2002, on Saturday sent a legal notice to the Maliks.
This legal notice was dispatched today morning and will take 48 working hours to reach the Maliks in Pakistan. The family has sent a legal notice the Maliks on the grounds of defamation, harassment, character assassination and fraud.
Sources said that plans are being undertaken to bring both the families to a discussion table to resolve the issue.
Meanwhile, Shoaib Malik too turned to legal services, by hiring a Delhi-based lawyer named Ramesh Gupta, to file a defamation case against the Siddiquis.
Gupta, who has a chamber in Delhi's Patiala House court complex, is a former chairman of Bar Council of Delhi. He has appeared as defence lawyer in high-profile cases like BMW hit-and-run case and is main lawyer for Rahul Mahajan in the ongoing trial over the latter's alleged drug overdose.
While Gupta couldn't be contacted, his junior aide and advocate, Meena, confirmed that their office had received word from Malik's family in Pakistan.
"Malik's family has instructed us to pursue this case as they feel they are being defamed by the statements being made by Siddiqui and her family. My senior, Ramesh Gupta has been approached to file the defamation suit. We are closely monitoring statements emanating from Siddiqui family and will soon take action,'' she said, adding that legal grounds for slapping defamation charges are being prepared.
The newspaper has learnt that the suit is likely to be filed in Delhi itself and will seek damages for tarnishing Malik's reputation at a time when he is getting married to tennis star Sania Mirza.
Ayesha and her father have claimed before the media that Shoaib is Ayesha's legally-wedded husband. In the run up to Sania's wedding, M A Siddiqui has demanded that Shoaib formally divorce his daughter before tying the knot with the tennis star.

Awaz Apni LAHORE: Former captain of Pakistan cricket team Shoaib Malik has started consultations with his lawyer for going to court against Ayesha Siddiqui and her father Mohammad Ahmed Siddiqui who claim that Ayesha is Shoaib’s wife..
Shoaib’s brother-in-law Imran Zafar Malik told Geo News that they have contacted with a lawyer Ramish Gupta in New Delhi to take a legal action against the Siddiqui family.
He said that Ramish Gupta has been the president of the Delhi High Court Bar Association.
He further said that they would now not remain silent on this issue.
He said that the photograph of the girl the Siddiqui Family showed to Shaoib Malik was not of Ayesha and this fraud was the reason of breaking of Shoaib’s engagement with Ayesha.
Shoaib Malik’s family remains unfazed with MA Siddiqui’s threats to sue the former Pakistani captain
Hyderabad-based MA Siddiqui has threatened to take Shoaib Malik to court to ensure that the former Pakistani captain divorce Ayesha before tying the knot with Sania Mirza on April 15. But the Malik household remains unfazed by this news. While Shoaib’s sister (Shazia Imran) is busy shopping and is in two minds deciding on which gold ornament she must get for her sister-in-law, Shoaib’s brother-in-law, Imran Zafar, is in Lahore to choose the wedding card.
Speaking on Siddiqui’s threat, Imran says, “We aren’t disturbed at all. The wedding preparations are going on fine. We went down to Hyderabad in the middle of March to ask for Sania’s hand. When they accepted the proposal, it’s evident that they must have done all the homework that was required before agreeing to get their daughter married off. We still maintain that Shoaib was duped and shown pictures of another girl posing as Ayesha. We have all those pictures of the girl who posed as Ayesha. Last time around, when the issue was raised, we had decided not to release those pictures to the media because it involved the privacy of a lady. But we can’t be soft all the time.”
But what about the clips of Shoaib being interviewed by Arun Lal post an Indo-Pak match where he accepted congratulations for his wedding after having won the match in his wife’s city? “Shoaib was madly in love with a girl whose pictures were sent to him. But that girl wasn’t Ayesha. Shoaib was trapped. Ayesha would tutor him online and have him parrot the line that they were married at some select interviews. The Arun Lal interview was a result of Ayesha Siddiqui tutoring Shoaib,” Imran adds.
While the Ayesha episode might be past for the Maliks, the family is equally cool about Sania’s ex-factor, Sohrab Mirza. “It’s their personal matter. But we don’t want to dwell on the past,” Imran says.
The family, including Shoaib’s mother Farooq Sultana, isn’t bothered about Sania’s hemline controversies either. “My mother-in-law understands that a short skirt is a sportsgirl’s uniform. We are not conservative enough to get perturbed with all that. Right now, our only concern is the wedding,” Imran avers.
While on the wedding, members of the Malik family are expecting to get their visa in a day or two. “We will be in Hyderbad on April 15 for the wedding. We are still deciding on whether to host the Pakistani reception in Lahore or Sialkot. As for the guestlist, there’s Bhajji, Viru and Ashish Nehra. My son (Shoaib’s nephew) is a huge fan of Team Kolkata. We will be inviting SRK. The rest on the guestlist will be decided once Shoaib returns to Pakistan. There’ll be no reception in Dubai,” Imran informs.
Finally, what about rumours claiming that Imran is tweeting on Shoaib’s behalf? “Shoaib isn’t on Twitter. We are so busy with the wedding preparations now that we haven’t yet had the time to figure out who is tweeting on Shoaib’s behalf,” Imran signs off.
The right-wing Shiv Sena has lashed out at tennis star Sania Mirza for her decision to marry Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik.
In the party mouthpiece 'Saamna', the Shiv Sena said, Sania should marry an Indian if she wishes to play for India, adding that she is longer an Indian. Had she truly been an Indian at heart, she would not have chosen a Pakistani.
Further objecting to Sania's marriage, the Shiv Sena asserted she should marry an Indian in order to retain Indian nationality.
"After marriage, Sania will become a Pakistani citizen. How can she have Pakistani citizenship and play for India? Has this country become a tennis ball to Sania that she plays with it, however she pleases?" adds the Sena.
National Communist Party (NCP) leader Jitendra Avhad and Samajwadi Party leader Abu Asim Azmi have also expressed their displeasure at Sania's marriage asserting that she would become a Pakistani after her marriage.
It has been reported that the wedding ceremony of both sports stars will take place in April, while the Walima reception will be hosted by Shoaib on April 16 or 17 in Lahore.
Shoaib was earlier engaged and allegedly married to another Hyderabad girl, Ayesha Siddiqui. (ANI)
Awaz Apni Karachi: Apr 2 (PTI) The Shoaib Malik-Ayesha Siddiqui controversy took another turn today when the Siddiqui family released, what they claimed, the marriage certificate of the Pakistani cricketer's 2002 'wedding' with the Hyderabad girl.
The marriage certificate (Nikahnama) was shown by several Pakistani television channels and apparently contained the signatures of Shoaib Malik on the column for the groom and the name of Maha Siddiqui on the column for the bride.
"I have released this marriage certificate because Shoaib and his family have constantly been denying this marriage," Ayesha told the 'Duniya' channel from Hyderabad.
While the Siddiqui family claims Shoaib is married to their daughter Ayesha and Indian tennis star Sania Mirza would be his second wife if they go ahead with the marriage, the Pakistani cricketer and his family have constantly denied that he ever entered into any wedlock with Ayesha.
THE LOVE triangle between Sania, Shoaib and Ayesha is taking all new twist and turns. Ayesha claiming to be Shoaib's wife speaks in public about her relationship with the former Pakistani Captain.
Ayesha Siddiqui broke her silence and said that she wants a legal divorce as uttering of the words Talaak Talaak Talaak' will not work for her. She also added that she doesn't have anything against Sania Mirza.
Ayesha said that “ I am fat and not good looking, that is why Shoaib has changed his mind. But Shoiab's brother-in-law is claiming that Ayesha is lying as she cheated Shoaib and his family.
Ayesha said: “I and shoaib got married in Sialkot. All were very happy including both of us. Shoaib never pointed out my fatness. He loved me a lot and always gifted me all the trophies he won”.
“But situations changed in 2006 and so did Shoiab’s behavior towards me”.
Ayesha also told that she was a very good friend of Sania Mirza and the most surprising thing which Ayesha said in her interview was that Shoaib didn’t like Sania’s profession.
Is it time for Sania to break her silence? As her future husband is being targetted with thousands of questions.
Ayesha claimed that she has proof in form of documents of marriage and photographs but Shoiab Malik's brother in law defended him claiming that all the documents she has are fake.
According to the documents, the marriage was solemnized at June 3, 2002 by Hafiz Mohammad Khalid s/o Munir, while Mukhtar Ali Khan s/o Abdul Rehman and Syed Ibrar Hussain s/o Syed Mubbashar Ali were named as witnesses in the certificate.
In the certificate a Rs500 was set as Haq Mehar; Ayesha said that her nick name is Maha and that is why her name Maha Siddiqui was written in the certificate.
Ayesha said that she received the marriage certificate through courier besides the Rs500 amount as Haq Mehar.
She said that all she wanted from Shoaib is divorce, and if he did not, she would move the court in this regard

Butt sees Shoaib-Sania knot improve Indo-Pak ties
NEW DELHI: Ayesha Siddiqui, who claims to be Shoaib Malik's first wife has finally hit out at the cricketer, according to reports appeared in Indian media.The Siddiqui family is said to be in a state of shock over the reports of Shoaib-Sania impending marriage in April.
Ayesha’s father, Mohammed Ahmed Siddiqui has threatened to sue Shoaib if he does not divorce his daughter. "I want divorce for my daughter.
According to Islamic law, my daughter cannot remarry if she doesn't have the divorce paper," he said in an interview to a news channel. He also said that Sania Mirza will be Shoaib's second wife.
Mohammed Ahmed Siddiqui claimed in February 2008 that Shoaib had married his daughter in June 2002 through a telephonic nikah after having an online affair.
However, Shoaib claims that he was only engaged to her and the marriage was called off because of problems between the families.
If sources are to be believed, Ayesha met Shoaib in a Dubai restaurant in 2001 along with her friend, Maha. While Ayesha is a little plump, Maha was pretty and Shoaib fell for her. On returning to Hyderabad, Ayesha, posing as Maha, started chatting with Shoaib.
Ayesha apparently fell in love with the cricketer and convinced her parents to contact his parents and arrange for a telephonic nikah.
In 2005, when the Pakistan cricket team was in Hyderabad, the Siddiquis hosted a reception for the cricket team. A website quotes a source as saying, "Shoaib became suspicious when he expressed his desire to meet Ayesha and her parents said she was out of town."
Ayesha was reportedly working as a school teacher in Dubai and apparently sent her actual photograph to Shoaib. This made the player snap all ties with her. He said the Siddiquis he had been duped.
Indian political party furious on Shoaib-Sania wedding
COIMBATORE/ TAMIL NADU: Activists of a regional political party in Coimbatore on Wednesday held a protest against the much-speculated marriage of Indian tennis sensation Sania Mirza with Pakistani cricket star Shoaib Malik.The marriage will take place in April.
The protestors condemned Mirza's decision to marry a Pakistani cricketer and raised slogans against her, the Central Government and the Andhra Pradesh Government.
They demanded the tennis player be deported from the country. They also demanded the federal government to take back all the awards given to her.
"There have been reports that Sania Mirza will marry Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik, which the Hindu Makkal Katchi, regional Hindu political outfit strongly condemns," said Senthil Kumar, an activist of Hindu Makkal Katchi.
"Because we feel that the cricket player basically belongs to a country, which aids and abets terrorism against India. It is still to handover the Mumbai attack accused to India. Moreover, this is an insult to 100 crore Indian people and Muslims living in India," he added.
"We also demand that the highest awards such as Padma Shri should be taken back from her immediately and we want to deport her from India."
The 23-year-old tennis player was the first Indian to win a WTA tour event in 2005 and reached her highest world ranking of 27 two years ago although she has since slipped to the 92nd spot.
Malik, 28, has been fighting a 12-month ban by the Pakistan Cricket Board for poor performance and indiscipline.
