\"SaniaDoha: A day after she denied service tax evasion in response to notices last week issued by the Central Board of Excise and Customs, tennis ace Sania Mirza<\/a><\/strong> came down heavily on sections of the media for choosing to focus on negative news rather than her entry into the semi-finals of the ongoing Qatar Open.<\/p>\n

Mirza and Barbora Strycova of the Czech Republic entered the women’s doubles last-four stage and will take on American-Slovenian duo of Abigail Spears and Katarina Srebotnik later on Friday.<\/p>\n

“Standing ovation to our amazing certain sections of media who haven’t bothered to write or report about me being in another semifinal of a tournament in Qatar, but heyyy there are 100 articles about ‘tax evasion’ which most of them don’t even understand properly,” Sania tweeted on Friday.<\/p>\n

“As to what’s going on I think is pretty clear negative news sells a lot more than positive news or achievements I guess!!” she added.<\/p>\n

The service taxes division of the customs department had issued a notice asking Mirza to appear before authorities on February 16 — either in person or through representatives.<\/p>\n

Sania’s accountant appeared on her behalf.<\/p>\n

In her report, Mirza said the Rs 1 crore given to her by the Telangana government was a “training incentive”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
