Padmashri for Olympic winners Sushil Kumar and Vijender Singh
Sushil Kumar is the second Indian wrestler who got home an Olympics medal. Vijender Singh is the first Indian boxer to win an Olympics medal. We need to recognize the contribution of both these athletes to Indian sports. Grave injustice has been done to them by denying them this award.
Both these athletes deserve the prestigious Padmashri award for sports. We, the undersigned, would like the Prime minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh to reconsider the list of Padmashri recipients and felicitate these athletes appropriately.
Giving them this award in a timely manner, would ensure their rightful place in Indian history. It would also provide a boost for rural sports, inspiration to the local children and role model to the youth and the budding athletes.
By supporting this petition, you will be voicing your support for these athletes.
