Sachin Tendulkar’s Farmer Protest Controversy Tweet: NCP Leader Sharad Pawar Trolled For Advising Master Blaster

Freedom of Speech? Sharad Pawar TROLLED For Advising Tendulkar to Exercise Caution

By India.com Staff Updated: Feb 07, 2021, 10:24 AM IST

Sachin Tendulkar gave his opinion on the ongoing farmer's protest which has created massive ruckus in the national capital. All Tendulkar asked the Indians was to stay united during this phase and reckoned sovereignty cannot be compromised. The former India cricketer received mixed emotions over his tweet. While some sections supported him, others slammed Tendulkar. Senior Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Sharad Pawar is now facing flak for his comments on Tendulkar's tweet on farmers. Pawar urged Tendulkar to refrain from speaking on such issues. "Many people have reacted sharply to the stand taken by them (Indian celebrities). I would advise Sachin (Tendulkar) to exercise caution while speaking about any other field," said Pawar while interacting with reporters. His comments did not go down well with netizens who reacted:

But, Sachin Tendulkar didn't give a opinion on Farm bills/protests. He just gave a statement saying that Outsiders should not interfere in internal matters. So how is it that he spoke about a different field. He just spoke what he felt on foreign powers and has FoE to do so.

Any criticism or unfavourable remark on Tendulkar is not taken lightly by the fans. Tendulkar is considered as a demi-god in a country where cricket is a religion and cricketers are their gods.
