He also questioned the absence of celebrities inside the Rajya Sabha. It was revealed that Sachin attended only two of the 25 sessions last year in the Winter sessions. Also, in the budget sessions, the Mumbai Indians icon only attended 1 out of the eight sessions, according to the Rajya Sabha website.

Sachin Tendulkar and Rekha should resign if they are not interested in Parliament,” commented Agarwal according to TOI.
