New Delhi:Olympic bronze medallist Sakshi Malik on Friday came down heavily on the Sports Ministry for leaving her name out of the final list of Arjuna awardees.
Speaking to IANS, Sakshi said she is disappointed with the government for ignoring her achievements.
“I always wanted to be called as Arjuna awardee Sakshi Malik.
The athletes do everything to win such accolades. He or she wants to win all the awards. That’s what motivates us.
“I don’t know what I should do to win the Arjuna award. I am happy to be conferred with the Khel Ratna award in 2016. And I respect it too. But I always wanted Arjuna. That was my dream,” a fuming Sakshi said. (IANS)
