Immense Joy For Our Family; Sukhjeet’s Arjuna Award Is For His Hard Work, Says Father Ajit Singh
The Arjuna Award: “All the hard work that I have put in over the last two years has paid off,” said Sukhjeet Singh, who was a key member of India’s bronze medal-winning men’s hockey team at the Paris Olympics, after getting nominated for the prestigious Arjuna Award. “Winning a bronze medal at the Paris Olympics was a dream come true, and now being nominated for the Arjuna Award is a big achievement for me,” he added.
Sukhjeet’s father, Ajit Singh, who serves as a sub-inspector in the Punjab Police, expressed his happiness over his son's remarkable achievement. He has also appealed to the Chief Minister of Punjab to promote his son to the position of DSP in the Punjab Police.
"I am very happy. I got a call from a friend today. He congratulated me and said, ‘Congratulations to you!’ I was surprised and didn’t know what to say. Sukhjeet has received the Arjuna Award. I immediately congratulated him in return. Twenty minutes later, I got a call from Sukhjeet himself. Before he could say anything, I congratulated him. He asked, ‘How did you know?’ I told him, ‘I got a call from someone’.
