Ahmednagar: Anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare on Wednesday said Sachin Tendulkar should be conferred with the Bharat Ratna, joining a long list of admirers who have demanded the country's top civilian honour for the cricketer. "Sachin Tendulkar is an icon for Indian youth. He has made India proud with his exploits in cricket. I feel he deserves the Bharat Ratna," the anti-graft crusader said after inaugurating a tennis tournament in memory of his late mother Laxmibai at his native village Ralegan Siddhi. The 38-year-old Tendulkar has to his name most of the batting records in Test and ODI cricket, including being the highest run-scorer and century maker in both formats, besides being the only male cricketer to score a double-hundred in ODIs. He is on the brink of becoming the first cricketer ever to score hundred international centuries, having already hit 99 tons (51 in Tests and 48 in ODIs). http://ibnlive.in.com/news/anna-demands-bharat-ratna-for-sachin-tendulkar/202949-3.html

It is not surprising that Anna is taking populist stands on a variety of national issues including Kashmir and Sachin's Bharat Ratna. Given the fact that the entire movement stands on mass public support and that Congress's PR machinery is working overtime to discredit the members of his committee (news of splits, Kejriwal's IT issues, Kiran Bedi reimbursments), Anna needs a positive spin around him when he decides to agitate the next time around. What better way to stay in the news than make such statements.
