Sachin Tendulkar and boxer Mary Kom were present in Rajya Sabha after Samajwadi Party MP Naresh Agarwal had questioned the absence of nominated member from the Upper House of the Parliament.
Former cricketer Sachin Tendulkar attended the Rajya Sabha on 3 August. Though Tendulkar attended the proceedings, he was passive at best and didn’t ask any questions either. Boxer Mary Kom was also present in the Upper House of the Parliament.
Reportedly, it was only recently that Naresh Agarwal, a Samajwadi Party MP, questioned the absence of Rajya Sabha members. While Tendulkar attended the proceedings, people on the Internet decided to go to town, joking about his abysmal attendance record as an MP. Boxer Mary Kom was also present in the House, but no prizes for guessing, the legendary cricketer was at the receiving end of all the jokes on Twitter.

In March, Agarwal said, “We have been yearning to see the presence of nominated members. They never come to the house. The entire session is over, but we haven’t seen them, be it Tendulkar or film actress Rekha or others.”
Sachin Tendulkar and Rekha were the worst performers in attendance in the Rajya Sabha among the 12 nominated members. The legendary cricketer was at the receiving end of all the jokes on Twitter.
