Saina appeals to Jaishankar to solve visa issues


New Delhi, Oct 8 (IANS): Ace shuttler Saina Nehwal has appealed to External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, seeking his help in processing her and her trainer's visa a week ahead of the Denmark Open.

Saina wrote in a tweet tagging Jaishankar that she is yet to get her visa processed for the tournament which will be played in Odense between October 15 and October 20.
