Sachin Tendulkar to lose Bharat Ratna? PIL filed against him

Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar might have to return his Bharat Ratna after a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) was filed against him in the Madhya Pradesh High Court for allegedly misusing the prestigious honour by appearing in commercial advertisements on television. The Madhya Pradesh High Court has now directed the assistant solicitor general to find out within a week if there are any Supreme Court guidelines that bar Tendulkar, or any other Bharat Ratna awardee for that matter, from appearing in television commercials.
