Be careful Major Rathore. Hero worshopping disease in India most widespread and it can ruin your sportsmanship and this could be your last medal unless you are extremely careful and save yourself from its deadly harmful affects. I wish you all the very best and you must win gold medal in the next olympics to contain national shame.
Our Indian Army, Navy and the Air Force have a rich history of sporting achievements. Silver medalist shooter Rathore has revived our memories of the fabulous contribution of the Army and the other defence wings in the area of sports. We join Olympian winner Rathore in thanking the mighty Army for the encouragement it offered to the Olympian which he has rightly acknowledged. Four years from now the world will witness another major world event in the form of the next Olympics. Our Indian Army, Navy and the Air Force are definitely capable of preparing more sportspersons to bring greater laurels to the country. We feel privileged to be protected by one of the world's largest defence force that has succeded in instilling confidence in us. Now we shall look forward to their further participation and victories in the sporting arena. We thank our defence forces and wish them well as they launch themselves in encouraging and preparing more champions for the nation. Our gallant soldiers can do much more. We are proud of them. Jai Hind !
