NCP chief Sharad Pawar on saturday urged cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar who earlier this week tweete as part of a celebrity fuleled pushback against pop star Rihana and her six-word tweet on the farmers protest to "exercise caution while speaking about any other field".
Mr. Pawar's comment came after few days after Tendulkar joined a long list of indian actors, sportspersons and politicians tweeting on unity and farmers a list triggered by Rihana's tweet and the wave of international headlines and support it generated.
"I would advise Sachin Tendulkar to exercise caution while speaking about any other field" is an absolute shocker coming from Senior parliamentarian Sharad Pawar. You are openly threatening our National hero, the pride of your home state, Maharashtra?! Has it come to this?? SHAME https://t.co/uqARzNEcaE

Many people have reacted sharply to the stand by them. I would advise Sachin to exercise cautions while speaking about any other field," Mr. Pawar was quoted by news agency ANI.
Mr. Pawar also criticised the centre for saying the protesters were "Khalistains or terrorists".
Agitators are farmers who feed our country.. not right to call them khalistanis or terrorists," Mr. Pawar , who was Agriculture minister in the congress led UPA government , was quoted by news agency PTI.
