New Delhi : In his first media interaction after being nominated
for the Rajya Sabha by the President of India, Sachin Tendulkar ' The Legend ' said
while he will like make a contribution as a Member of Parliament, he
remains primarily a sportsman and not a politician.
"It's a bouncer, but I'm aware of my responsibilities. It's a great
honour for me, [though] I'm not a politician but a sportsman. I will
like to contribute in whatever way I can," Sachin said about his RS
nomination, which has been made under the quota of eminent citizens of
India.
"When the President nominates your name, you are nominated because of
your contribution. I was nominated because I played for India for 22
years. Great persons like Lata [Mangeshkar] Didi have been nominated," Tendulkar said.
But Tendulkar was quick to make it clear that the nomination can't come
in way of his playing cricket. "RS nomination is a great honour, but
it's not going to stop my cricket. Cricket is my life. All my awards
are only due to cricket."
