Indian Cricket legend and Rajya Sabha member Sachin Tendulkar’s first speech in the Parliament was disrupted. His debut speech stopped by Opposition MPs sloganeering about the 2G scam verdict today. The House has been adjourned until 11 am on Friday, 22 December.
According to a report, Tendulkar had to speak on ‘Right to play and the future of sports in India’. Tendulkar had reportedly submitted a notice to lead a Short Duration Discussion on the issue.
Bharatiya Janata Party MP Ranvijay Singh Judev and the Congress’ PL Punia are supporting the former cricketer in the cause.
Tendulkar was set to speak about the dismal condition of sports education and facilities available in India. Earlier on December 19, Tendulkar visited Donja village in Osmanabad district of Marathwada, Maharashtra, and Tendulkar has adopted the village under the Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana.
The batting legend, who was nominated to the Upper House of the Parliament in April 2012, has recorded only 8 percent attendance and he has often been criticised for this low attendance.
In 2015, according to an analysis done by Factly, Tendulkar, and actor Rekha were among the worst performers in the Rajya Sabha with regards to attendance and participation.
