In the wake of the cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan, Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra has extended his full support to the Indian Armed Forces, lauding their bravery and unwavering resolve in tackling terrorism.
The two-time Olympic medallist and reigning world champion took to his official X account to show his solidarity with the forces and urged citizens to act responsibly in these challenging times. "We are proud of our Brave Indian Armed Forces who are fighting for our nation against Terrorism. Let's do our part and make sure to follow guidelines to ensure everyone's safety during this time. Jay Hind Jay Bharat. Jay Hind Ki Sena," Chopra wrote.
Chopra, the double Olympic medallist in javelin, is set to compete at the Ostrava Golden Spike 2025 athletics meet on June 24 in the Czech Republic. After being forced to withdraw from the past two editions due to injury, he will finally aim to make his debut at the prestigious meet.
