Manu Bhaker Khel Ratna Award: Big information is coming out about the young star shooter Manu Bhaker, who brought glory to the country by winning two medals each in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Big claims are being made about this ace Indian shooter from Haryana. There are reports of Manu Bhaker not being given the Khel Ratna Award. Actually, Manu Bhaker’s name is said to be missing from the list of Khel Ratna Award, on which there is a big controversy. Which is also natural, because Manu Bhaker has won two medals each in the same Olympics.
According to media reports, the list prepared by the Sports Ministry for the Khel Ratna Award includes the names of Indian men’s hockey team captain Harmanpreet Singh and para athlete Praveen Kumar, but Manu Bhakar’s name is not there. Not included, who was the most successful Indian athlete of the Paris Olympics. People are very angry on social media due to Manu Bhaker’s name not being selected for this highest sports honour, so imagine what Manu’s family must be thinking.
It is known that Manu Bhaker’s family is enraged by this attitude of the Sports Ministry. Indian shooter’s father Ramkishan Bhakar has given a sharp reaction. Making a big statement, he has rejected the claim of the Sports Ministry that Manu Bhaker did not apply for this honour.
What did Manu Bhaker’s father say on the controversy?
22-year-old Manu Bhakar’s father said in a statement to the media on this issue that Manu Bhakar had applied for the Khel Ratna Award, but the coordination committee did not give any reply. Manu’s father Ramkishan Bhakar even said in a statement to a media organization that if you have to beg for an award then what is the point of winning two medals in the Olympics.
Let us tell you that Manu Bhakar had won two bronze medals in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Manu won the bronze medal in the women’s 10 meter air pistol event and the bronze medal in the 10 meter air pistol mixed team event with Sarabjot Singh. The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) has appealed to the Sports Ministry to reconsider this matter, although the Sports Ministry has said that this is a preliminary list. The final list is yet to be released.
