Winning an Olympics medal is a great achievement for any player and the winner deserves to be rewarded by the government for making the country proud.
Wrestler Sakshi Malik won a bronze medal in the Rio Olympics in August last year and she was given many awards. Moreover, some announcements were also made in that regard and undoubtedly, it was expected that those announcements will turn into reality soon.
However, Sakshi has now slammed and questioned the Haryana government whether the announcements it had made after she won Bronze were for media only or it really had an intention of fulfilling them.
She tweeted, “I have fulfilled my promise of a medal. When will Haryana government fulfill its promises?”

Sakshi got a grand reception by the Haryana government when she returned with a bronze medal. The Chief Minister of the state awarded her with the cheque of Rs. 2.5 crore and she was also selected for becoming the brand ambassador of Haryana for ‘Beti Padhao-Beti Bachao’ programme. Not only this, a Class II rank post was also offered to her by the Indian Railways.
Not just Haryana government but many other organizations such as Indian Olympics Association, JSW Group, Indian Railways and even UP government also awarded her.
