00:00It is a very big moment that the President will award me with such a prestigious award.
00:06I am feeling very good.
00:08I have got the motivation to do more work and win more medals for my country.
00:12I am feeling very good.
00:14When you win medals at the Olympics and at the world level,
00:18I don't think there should be a need to apply.
00:21But the foreign government does not have such data.
00:24Because of that, we have to apply.
00:26I have also applied.
00:28For some reason, Manu was not able to do it.
00:30But her demand was justified.
00:32Because she was the first woman to win two medals for her country.
00:38So there is no need for her recognition.
00:41The whole country knows that.
00:43So it is an obvious thing.
00:45All Olympic medalists have the same right.
00:48Manu was absolutely worthy of it.
00:51She deserved it.
00:52And I am very happy that she was given this award.
