Following this, several celebrities and cricketers &nbsp;including Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane among others had urged the country to stay united.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tendulkar had posted on Twitter that India\u2019s sovereignty cannot be compromised.

She also accused Sharad Pawar of taking U-turn and said he used to write letters demanding agricultural reforms in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/M_Lekhi\/status\/1358113397594746881\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The party had earlier brought to light an old letter written by him during his tenure as agriculture minister.
