Sk. Rasheed, vice-captain of Under-19 Cricket World Cup winning team, was felicitated by Human Rights Council of India South India chapter chairman Khalifatullah Basha on Friday.
Mr. Rasheed played an instrumental role in the team that defeated the England team in the final.
Thanking Mr. Basha, who is also BJP minorities wing State president, Mr. Rasheed said he was confident of bringing many more laurels to the country.
Cardiologist and MP-elect from Bengaluru Rural C.N. Manjunath, who contested from the BJP and defeated three-time Congress MP D.K. Suresh, said he was the “people’s candidate” and that it is their aspiration to see him in the Union Cabinet. In an interview with The Hindu, he claimed his victory was possible because those who were treated at the Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research became his “ambassadors”.
