'BHARAT RATNA TO SACHIN IS A JOKE':-
Senior Janata Dal (United) leader Shivanand Tiwari on Monday questioned the government's decision to award the Bharat Ratna, the country's highest civilian award, to just retired batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar.
He said giving the Bharat Ratna to Tendulkar, who has earned millions from playing the sport of cricket, was nothing more than a joke, and added that there were far more deserving candidates for the coveted and prestigious award.
"The Bharat Ratna has become a joke. It should be abolished. It has no significance now. Tendulkar has not played cricket for free. He has earned thousands of crores," Tiwari said.
He asked: "Why was (Major) Dhyanchand not considered for the Bharat Ratna?". The politician was referring to the former hockey wizard.
