NEW DELHI: A strong demand was made in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday for conferring the country's highest civilian honour Bharat Ratna on cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar for his unparalleled feat in the game.
"We all agree, a person who defended the honour of the country is to be honoured. Sachin has been continuously doing so," Ranjitsinh Vijaysinh Mohite-Patil (NCP) said in his Special Mention.
Urging the government to bestow Bharat Ratna on Sachin, he said such an honour would inspire the youth of the nation.
He said ever since his debut at the age of 16 at Karachi, Sachin has played with exemplary skill without disappointing anyone.
Sachin recently scored a double century in one-day international against South Africa, becoming the only player in the world to achieve the feat.
