She recalled that her great grand mother was British and her father-in-law, late Nawab of Pataudi, captained Oxford cricket team.
"England has been kind to me," she stated. Speaking on the occasion, Keith Vaz complimented Fatima Patel, Managing Director of I&E Media, publisher of Asian Sunday newspaper for her decision to bring out the London edition of the newspaper next month.u00a0
