Sreejesh is the goalkeeper of the Indian Hockey team who won bronze at the Olympics
Goalkeeper PR Sreejesh, 33, hails from Kerala, and he has brought pride to the country by winning the Olympic medal this year as the Indian Hockey team won the bronze medal at the Tokyo games. But allegations have been levelled against the Kerala government’s delayed appreciation for his sincere efforts.
Retired athlete Anju Bobby George confirmed the allegation against the Kerala Government to a Malayalam TV news channel, “The allegation that Kerala government did not reward him is true. As soon as athletes won medals, the respective state governments announced their rewards, even before they returned to the state. But here, Sreejesh is back and yet the Kerala government has not announced a reward, One should understand the value of an Olympic medal.”
Meanwhile Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil, the Chairman and managing director of VPS healthcare has announced that he will be presenting Rs. 1 crore to Sreejesh for winning the Olympic medal for India.
