Sachin Tendulkar has made Maharashtra famous all over the world, Shiv Sena leader Manohar Joshi said on Wednesday even as he felt the cricket icon should have avoided the "Mumbai belongs to all Indians" comment as it is an issue for his party.

"I love Sachin a lot. The issue should not come up time and again as it does not leave a good taste," Joshi said here, appearing keen to put an end to the controversy over Sachin's remarks.
