In controversial remarks, Press Council Chairperson Justice Markandey Katju today said that giving Bharat Ratna to cricketers and film stars, who have “no social relevance”, is making a “mockery” of the award.
“People are talking of giving Bharat Ratna to cricketers and film stars. This is the low cultural level to which we have sunk. We ignore our real heroes, and hail superficial ones,” he said against the backdrop of the demand for conferring the coveted award to batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar and hockey legend Dhyan Chand.
