Mumbai: Mumbai BJP Chief Ameet Satam on May 18 shared that his 12-year-old daughter Mahika Satam, has earned her karate black belt and was selected to participate in an international karate competition in Seoul, South Korea. However, Satam said the family has decided not to send her for the tournament following PM Modi's appeal to avoid international travel amid the ongoing West Asia conflict.
In a statement, Satam said the family took the decision keeping the spirit of 'Nation First' in mind, adding that "competitions come and go". He further expressed confidence that his daughter will get many such big opportunities in the future.
In the post, he also praised his daughter and said that "he is proud of the maturity shown by his daughter in the decision". He also thanked his wife and daughter, Mahika, for supporting the decision. "I am indebted to all of you for supporting this decision with understanding and positivity. The nation's interest is paramount. Jai Hind! Jai Maharashtra!"
