Who didn't allow Sachin to speak in Rajya Sabha?
By: Tupaki Desk | 21 Dec 2017 12:49 PM GMT
Could you believe Bharat Ratna Sachin Tendulkar wasn't allowed to deliver his speech in the Upper House? But, This is true!
Sachin wished to deliver his maiden speech in Rajya Sabha by moving a Short Discussion Motion on the future of sports in India and right to play. He wants to seek coverage of Central Health Guarantee Scheme (CGHS) for International Medal Winners and making Sports a part of school curriculum.
To his shock, Congress MPs disrupted the proceedings seeking an apology from PM Narendra Modi for his comments on former PM Manmohan Singh about his alleged links with Pakistan. When Sachin stood up to kickstart the discussion, Congress Lawmakers created ruckus. The Bharat Ratna Winner remained silent for 10 minutes, during which Rajya Sabha chairman M Venkaiah Naidu appealed agitating Members to come to order. There were no takers for Mr.Naidu's appeal to allow Sachin speak.
Just before ordering to cut off the life telecast of the proceedings, Venkaiah Naidu shouted, 'You don't have sporting spirit while we are discussing about sports'.
Due the ruckus, The House was adjourned abruptly till 11 am Tomorrow. Will Sachin get an opportunity to speak at least then?
