Haryana Sports Minister Anil Vij slams Manu Bhaker on her 'correct or just jumla' tweet

Retaliating to Bhaker’s tweet, Vij took to his social media account on Saturday and slammed the 16-year-old, stating that she made a mockery of the state government.

India’s teenage shooting sensation Manu Bhaker Friday took a dig at Haryana state government and Sports Minister Anil Vij for not fulfilling the promise of Rs 2 crore which was made after she clinched the Gold at the 2018 Youth Olympics. She took to her Twitter account, asking Vij if the announcement was 'correct or just jumla'.

Sir Please confirm if it is correct... Or just Jumla... @anilvijminister pic.twitter.com/AtxpLKBSYV

Retaliating to Bhaker’s tweet, Vij took to his social media account on Saturday and slammed the 16-year-old, stating that Bhaker made a mockery of the state government. He wrote, “It is disgusting to denounce a state govt which is giving the highest awards in the country.” He stressed on the fact that Bhaker will surely receive the prize money if it has been announced by the Sports Minister himself. Here’s the tweet:

Manu Bhaker should have first confirmed it from the Sports Deptt. before going to public domain. It is disgusting to denounce a State Govt which is giving highest awards in the Country. Bhaker will will will get 2 crores as tweated by me and as per notification at that time.

In his next tweet, Vij asserted that the young Indian shooter ‘should feel sorry for creating controversy’ and ‘should focus on her game only’.

There should be some sense of decipline in players. Bhaker should feel sorry for creating this controversy. She has a long way to go. She should focus on her game only.
