India’s two-time Olympic medalist in javelin throw faced a targeted campaign on social media from right-wing Hindus for inviting Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem, the Paris 2024 Olympics gold medalist, to the Neeraj Chopra Classic, scheduled to be organised in Bengaluru next month under the name of India’s Olympic champion.
Neeraj Chopra's mother, Saroj Devi, is capturing hearts online with her remarks following her son’s record win, refusing to let birth origins differentiate her affections for Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem.
Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra on Sunday scripted history yet again as he became the first Indian to win a gold medal in the World Athletics Championships with a big throw of 88.17m in the men’s javelin final.
