Star javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra, who won India a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, is being discussed everywhere. He has achieved a huge breakthrough with a throw of 87.58 m in the javelin throw. In a tweet about him, BJP MP from Ladakh Jamyang Sering Namgyal said that the country won the gold medal as soon as the name of the Khel Ratna award was changed.

After Neeraj Chopra's victory, Namgyal wrote on Twitter, 'As soon as the name of Khel Ratna was changed, the country got the gold medal, perhaps grace was stuck here.' In fact, India's highest sports award 'Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award' has now been renamed after Major Dhyan Chand. In a tweet on Friday, Prime Minister Modi wrote, "In the middle of the moments that have made the country proud, many Indians have also urged that the name of Khel Ratna award be dedicated to Major Dhyan Chand Ji. In view of the sentiments of all, its name is now being awarded the Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award.''
Major Dhyan Chand, known as the same 'hockey wizard,' had won India a gold medal at the Olympics 3 consecutive times. Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna is India's highest honor in the world of sports. The award was named after former PM Rajiv Gandhi. The Khel Ratna Award was started in the year 1991-92. The honor was established for appreciation and awareness in the field of sports. Chess Grandmaster Viswanathan Anand was the first player to receive the award.
