By: Tupaki Desk | 5 Aug 2013 5:12 PM GMT
Sachin Tendulkar stood as a centre of attraction in Parliament on the first of Monsoon Session as he arrived to attend Rajya Sabha wearing a blue-stripped shirt and black trousers.
As we knew, Sachin was nominated to Upper House by Congress in AP last year. So far, he has attended the house only once and that was during the Monsoon Sessions in the year 2012.
Sachin walked up to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to shake hands with him. He also spoke for a brief period with Bollywood lyricist Javed Akhtar who was also an MP. When Chairman Hamid Ansari congratulated the Indian Cricket Team which won the recent Champions Trophy, Sachin also thumped the desk appreciating the efforts of the youngsters.
MPs have competed to get a glance of Sachin and most of them walked up to him for shaking hands. Interestingly, the cricketer's wife Anjali was seen sitting in the visits gallery.
