“I wish to congratulate Vajpayeeji for a very deserving recognition. And I am very happy to see the posthumous recognition for Malviyaji,” Singh said. However, Singh said that former hockey superstar Dhyan Chand, who powered India to three Olympic gold medals in 1928, 1932 and 1936, too deserves the honour.
“I also wish to see the Bharat Ratna conferred on Dhyan Chand for his tremendous service to our country.”
