Union Minister Kiren Rijiju: Union Minister Kiren Rijiju met Manu Bhaker on Saturday at his residence and shared "special joy" interacting with the Double-Olympic medallist.

After her heartbreaking Tokyo Olympics campaign, where she fell short of winning a medal due to a pistol malfunction, the 22-year-old Manu created history at the 2024 Paris Olympics, becoming the first Indian to win two medals in a single Olympic edition post-Independence.

"There's a special JOY in meeting our athletes who make India proud on the world stage. Interacted with Double-Olympic medalist @realmanubhaker at my residence today. Her devotion, passion & commitment are shaping the dreams of the next generation of athletes," Rijiju posted on X.
