MLA Bacchu Kadu writes letter to CM Eknath Shinde, seeks ban on Sachin Tendulkar's ad
Former Indian cricketer and recipient of Bharat Ratna, Sachin Tendulkar, has sparked a controversy by featuring in a Paytm First advertisement. The call to ban the advertisement has grown stronger, arguing that Sachin should refrain from endorsing gambling-related content. Independent MLA Bacchu Kadu has joined the chorus, urging for a ban on the said advertisement.
“I have one complaint, being a Bharat Ratna, he has a fan base. Games like Rummy are in Paytm First. Various games are opened in it. Many children have committed suicide. Ban has also been imposed in Assam, Andhra, Arunachal, and Telangana. So this is my open letter to Sachin Tendulkar, please don't advertise a game that has a bad effect on society,” Kadu said.
सचिन तेंडुलकर हे भारतरत्न आहे. असंख्य चाहते व भारतरत्न असणार्या व्यक्तिने Paytm First सारख्या जुगार चालवणार्या app ची जाहीरात करणे योग्य नाही आहे. माझी महाराष्ट्र शासन व सचिन तेंडुलकर यांना विनंती आहे कृपया या जाहिरातीवर तात्काळ बंदी घालण्यात यावी.@sachin_rtpic.twitter.com/nhozmLbIn7
