While he has been criticized a lot for his poor attendance in the Parliament all these years, his gesture has Twitter divided on the issue.
But question is still remain same! When his attendence only 7% than why paid him full salery? We respect SRT but don’t try to make entire nation as #EmotionalFool

Sachin Tendulkar donates his full MP salary of 6years for not attending the parliamentary sessions ,waiting for other ministers to follow the example
— DT (@utterlybutterly) April 2, 2018
Unlike other MPs @sachin_rt had guts to return his Salary on the basis ” No Work,No Pay ” as he attended Parliament for around 10%.Other MPs are literally shameless.
