Sports Minister Anurag Thakur calls for Olympic medalists Sakshi Malik and Bajrang Punia to take on coaching roles following their recent expressions of discontent. Malik emotionally announced her retirement, while Punia returned his Padma Shri in protest against Wrestling Federation of India's election. Thakur refrains from commenting on the controversy involving Sakshi Malik and Brij Bhusan but encourages past champions to guide budding athletes. Inaugurating new facilities at SAI, he highlights the nation's success in recent Asian Games, urging former champions to share knowledge and sustain the momentum in future competitions.
