◆ Mahika will not go to the international karate competition in South Korea
◆ The family’s decision, putting ‘Nation First’
BJP MLA Amit Satam’s post on social media is currently being discussed. While expressing pride in his 12-year-old daughter’s achievements in karate, he also announced an important decision made by the family. Satam’s daughter Mahika Satam recently earned a black belt in karate and had the opportunity to participate in an international karate competition in Seoul, South Korea. However, the family decided to cancel this trip.
In his post, Amit Satam stated that the country’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged avoiding international travel for a while for the nation’s interest. Respecting this appeal, the family unanimously decided that Mahika would not go to South Korea for this competition. Satam said that competitions will come again and Mahika will get many such opportunities in the future. He clarified that this decision was made with the feeling of ‘Nation First’ in mind, aiming to contribute a small part for the country’s interest.
Amit Satam also mentioned in the post that he feels proud seeing his daughter Mahika’s understanding attitude and sense of patriotism in this decision. He expressed gratitude to his wife and daughter Mahika, expressing satisfaction with the family’s positive decision.
Since Mahika recently achieved a black belt in karate, this competition was considered a major opportunity for her. However, as the family decided to prioritize national interest over personal opportunity, various reactions are emerging on this post. At the end of the post, Amit Satam gave a message of “Jai Hind, Jai Maharashtra” saying “National interest is paramount.”
