Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar has amassed massive support from his fans on social media for opposing foreign interference in India's affairs, against the backdrop of a controversy that was triggered after pop sensation Rihanna commented on the ongoing farmers' agitation.
The former Indian cricket team captain had tweeted on Wednesday saying that external forces can be spectators, but not participants in India's internal affairs. "Indians know India and should decide for India. Let's remain united as a nation," he said along with the popular hashtags #IndiaTogether and #IndiaAgainstPropaganda.
India’s sovereignty cannot be compromised. External forces can be spectators but not participants.
