'What's the use if you have to beg for an award?', Manu Bhaker's father expressed displeasure

Sports news: Paris Olympic medalist Manu Bhaker's name has been dropped from the list of nominees for India's highest sporting honor Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award. Regarding which Manu Bhaker's father said that if even after winning two medals in the Olympics, one has to beg for the award, then what is the use of it?

He further said that a government official is taking the decision, and the committee members are silent. Is this how athletes are being encouraged?
