Motion in House of Commons

London (PTI): A Motion was laid in the House of Commons in the UK congratulating batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar on his "magnificent" career and for being an able ambassador of the game. The Early Day Motion, moved by Indian-origin MP Keith Vaz, said Tendulkar served as an inspiration for millions around the world and recognised his "selfless dedication" to the sport.

"This motion is a fitting tribute to such an exceptional batsman. Tendulkar is adored almost as much in the UK as he is in India, so it is only right that parliament pays tribute to him," Keith Vaz said. There was no debate on early day motion. The Indian batting legend drew curtains on his 24-year-long illustrious career on Saturday last after playing his landmark 200th Test against the West Indies in Mumbai. On that day, Tendulkar was chosen for Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian award.
