President Ayub Khan had organised an Indo-Pak Meet in 1960 in Lahore where Milkha Singh defeated Khaliq who had beaten the Indian more than once in international races.

Milkha Singh believed that hockey wizard Dhyan Chand should have been honoured with the Bharat Ratna before Sachin Tendulkar.

Milkha Singh says it would have been better had the government conferred the Bharat Ratna on hockey wizard Dhyan Chand before Sachin Tendulkar.

Champion athlete Milkha Singh feels that Sachin Tendulkar's name may get maligned if he dabbles into politics.

Retired batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar became the first sportsperson to receive the country's highest civilian award, Bharat Ratna.

The statue will be ready by the end of December and Milkha Singh has been invited by the academy to unveil it.

Milkha Singh, however, also said that while Sachin Tendulkar deserved the honour, it would have been good if hockey legend Dhyan Chand too had been given this award.

Legendary Indian athlete Milkha Singh feels Sachin Tendulkar's traits of sincerety, humility and hard work make him an ideal future candidate for the post of Sports Minister of India.

The legendary Indian 400m runner also says that Carl Lewis was so awestruck after watching his biopic that the multiple Olympic medallist sent him a baton as a mark of respect.

Praising India's tennis ace, former India cricket captain Sourav Ganguly says that Leander Paes should go on playing.
