Big information is coming out about Manu Bhakar, the young player who won two medals one after the other for India in Paris Olympics 2024. Manu Bhaker's name is missing from the list of Khel Ratna Award. Indian men's hockey team captain Harmanpreet and paraathlete Praveen Kumar's name is in the list of Khel Ratna Award, but controversy has arisen due to the absence of shooting star Manu Bhaker's name. Manu Bhakar's family is also enraged regarding this matter. Manu's father has said a big thing on this.

Manu not nominated for 'Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award'

'Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award' is India's highest sporting honour. The names of Harmanpreet Singh and paraathlete Praveen Kumar have been recommended for this honour. If Manu's name does not come up then controversy is bound to happen. Let us tell you that players have to apply for sports honors. Sports Ministry officials say that Manu did not apply for this. But Manu's family has rejected this claim.

Manu's father said - If you have to beg for an award..'

Manu's father Ramkishan Bhakar has given a strong reaction on this entire issue. First of all he told that Manu had applied but the committee did not give any reply. The shooting star's father told Sports Tak, 'If you have to beg for awards, then what is the point of winning two medals in the same Olympics? A government official is taking the decision and the committee members are silent and not giving their opinion. I don't understand'.

Manu's father further said, 'Are you encouraging athletes like this? We applied for the award, but did not receive any response from the committee. Why are parents encouraging their children to play, they should motivate them to become IRS officers in the government'.

First player to win 2 medals in the same Olympics

Manu had won two medals for India in the Paris Olympics. This 22-year-old player had won the bronze medal in the 10 meter air pistol event. Along with Sarabjot Singh, he also won bronze in 10 meter mixed team. She became the first player after India's independence to win two medals in the same Olympics.
