 Prime Minister and other ministers meet Olympic Gold medalist Abhinav Bindra
The first winner of an individual Gold Medal for India at the Beijing Olympic Games and International Shooting Ace, Shri Abhinav Bindra met with the Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh, in New Delhi on August 14, 2008 along with many other political leaders at the capital.
The Vice President of India Shri Mohd. Hamid Ansari has said that sports is not glamour, it is sheer hard work. He was speaking after meeting Abhinav Bindra. Congratulating to Bindra, the Vice President said that he is extremely proud of the achievement of Shri Bindra at Beijing and hoped that in future Indian players would win more medals in Olympic Games.
The Vice President said that the grand success of Shri Bindra proves that if the three important things that are family support, state support and zeal to achieve for the country combine together lead to sure success.
The Vice President said however winning mere one gold medal does not reflect the expectation of a vast population like us.
