Mr. Kapil Sibal, Minister of Human resource development, went far skeptical in case of citizenship of Vishwanathan Anand as he was spending most of his time in Spain despite of his home in Hyderabad.

The raging controversy between the Grand master and the HRD Minister began after Ministry felt dubious about Anand’s present nationality, despite of knowing the fact that Anand has brought many proud moments for India, when the University of Hyderabad had to delay the action to confer the honor on him yesterday.

Along with apology, the Minister has said that Anand has made country proud and the degree will be conferred on Anand at a date of his convenience.

One of the Head of the Departments of Mathematics of the University told the reporters that the honorary degree was never denied to Anand, it was only delayed on nationality confusion.

Anand feeling disappointed with the behavior of the Indian government told that he always played under Indian flag, held the Indian passport right from the time of his first overseas trip but still the government is skeptical which he was not able to grasp.

However, Kapil Sibal assured the media that there is no any issue between them on the matter as Anand had agreed to accept the degree at a convenient time depending on his availability.
