The royal descendents of Avadh on Wednesday demanded the country’s
highest civilian award the “Bharat Ratna” for legendary cricketer
Sachin Tendulkar
Tendulkar, who has received so many sporting accolades, could be in line for the Bharat Ratna if some people have their way.
Two organisations consisting of the royal descendents
of Avadh on Wednesday demanded the country’s highest civilian award the
“Bharat Ratna” for legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar.
Describing
Tendulkar as the “pride of India” at a meeting held here, the two
organisations named the Royal Family of Avadh and Nawabeen-e-Avadh
demanded that the master blaster be conferred with the country’s
highest civilian honour.
“There is a move to
denigrate Sachin Tehdular whose achievements are unparallel and who has
been bestowed with awards like Padma Shri, Padma Vibhushan, Arjun
award, Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award among others”, the descendents of
the nawabs of Avadh said in support of their demand.
They
said they would soon be writing to the President Pratibha Patil and
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh demanding the honour for Tendulkar.
