Why are we slandering Sachin for his right to freedom of expression?

The greatest irony of life is that everybody hates hypocrisy but continues to be a hypocrite. The same goes for the right to freedom of expression. No one likes his voice muzzled but stoops to slandering the opinion he dislikes. Up till 3 February 2021, they revered Sachin Tendulkar as the ‘God of Cricket’, now they are questioning his merit for the Bharat Ratna. Some of them poured oil and ink over his cutout, while others expressed regret for supporting him in the past.
