FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Tendulkar has previously been careful to steer well clear of India’s often bitter political world, and it remains unclear how much he will participate in parliament after his playing days are over.
When he was nominated in April, the Times of India said the gesture made “little sense” while some opposition lawmakers accused the government of crass populist politics.
Om Mathur, a member of parliament for the main opposition BJP, said at the time that Tendulkar was being used by the ruling Congress party to boost its support in the cricketer’s home state of Maharashtra.
Tendulkar is the world’s highest run-scorer in both Test and one-day cricket and in March became the first batsman to complete 100 international centuries – 51 in Tests and 49 in one-dayers.
The cricketing world first took notice of the child prodigy when, aged 17 and playing only his ninth Test, he hit a match-saving 119 not out against England at Old Trafford in 1990.
Since then he has been revered in India as a demi-god and has lived with the intense pressure of the cricket-obsessed public believing that every time he comes in to bat he will win the game for his team.
Despite such challenges, the “master blaster” has retained a reputation as a honest and humble family man who is involved in a variety of charity work.
His only weakness is said to be an insatiable love of fast cars which he reportedly drives around the streets of Mumbai in the early hours to avoid attracting attention.
Tendulkar was sworn in on Monday by Hamid Ansari, India’s vice president and the chairman of the upper house, in presence of his wife Anjali and lawmakers who presented him with a yellow silk shawl after the ceremony.
