MLA Bachchu Kadu demanded that the advertisement of Paytm First Game gambling by Sachin Tendulkar should be banned. Tendulkar has been honoured with the highest civilian award Bharat Ratna. He should not be used in advertising like this.
From children to senior people are fans of renowned cricketer Sachin Tendulkar. His appearance in the advertisement promoting gambling lays an impact on the people. Kadu, in a letter to Maharashtra Chief Minister, wrote that he has received several complaints. The families of many who indulged in Paytm First Game were adversely affected. Pritesh Vilas Pawar from Nalasopara in Vasai Taluka also staged demonstrations against it at Azad Maidan, Mumbai.
Kadu said that the person getting honour like Bharatratna should not accept such an advertisement. He should be a role model for the people. Tendulkar should realise his responsibility towards the people of this nation, which showers tremendous love upon him. .
