Sachin Tendulkar wished to deliver his first speech in Rajya Sabha on Thursday over the future of sports in India. However, Congress Members created ruckus seeking apology from PM Modi for making allegations on Ex-PM Manmohan Singh by linking with Pakistan and didn't allow the Master Blaster to deliver his address. As a result, The Upper House was adjourned till 11 am Today.
When the proceedings began on Friday, Sachin Tendulkar got ready to speak in the Upper House. Whereas, Congress MP continued disrupting the proceedings with loud slogans. Rajya Sabha chairman M Venkaiah Naidu expressed his anguish on Opposition MPs for not allowing Sachin to speak. Even BJP accused Congress Members of disrespecting Bharat Ratna by not allowing Sachin to share his views in the Parliament.
Congress MP Renuka Chowdary lashed out at the ruling party and didn't even spare Sachin in the process of defending the stand taken by her party. She questioned, 'Whether Bharat Ratna is license for speaking in Parliament? Sachin Tendulkar was nominated to the Upper House in the UPA tenure itself. He attended the House Proceedings only for 23 out of 348 days since his entry. Why BJP is making a hue & cry when such a member didn't get the opportunity to speak?'.
