Dhoni and Bhajji, couldn't turn up to recieve the "Padma Shree"

I personally do not agree that they some how have brought any disrespect by not attanding Padma Shree award ceremony, this is media which is highlighting ther absence from the ceremony, but giving no details whether those both were informed for the same or not, may be BCCI or the department involved in messaging awardee people didn't properly forward the message,

In case they both have message and didn't turn there after, surely the matter is to be considered and can be considered as disrespect to the nation.

in case they didn't recieve massage they are not to be blamed, this is BCCI or the daprtment involved

yes i totally agree with Tanmay here on his comment....it's not players who are disrespecting....it's the BCCI committee, they could have easily avoided this embarassment and wrath from the public by just giving them details that they should attend this prestigious award ceremony....but BCCI is taking for granted and the same thing was showed by the players........

It is not clear under what circumstances, both Dhoni and Bhajji could not attend the Award-function. They may also have faced some genuine reason for that. We are hearing from media only. BCCI has already given a clarification on the issue and served notices to both the players. It is correct that most of the cricketers are playing only to get money, as huge money is being paid under the contract and I feel, it is a mistake of the BCCI-management. Players' going to any and every advertisement, for gaining money, must be controlled by BCCI, if this was the reason for missing the award ceremony. BCCI should also bring some strict discipline on players' schedule of movement in the country as well as outside the country, as anything bad done by the players can earn bad name/ shame for the country.
