Olympic gold medalist Neeraj Chopra, in a video he shared on Twitter, requested everyone to not use his comments for propaganda and also supported Pakistan’s javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem. Olympic Bronze medalist wrestler Bajrang Punia backed Neeraj Chopra. “An issue is being made over Neeraj Chopra (regarding Arshad Nadeem). Athletes are athletes regardless of their nationality. We're opponents on ground but brothers outside it. Sports doesn't teach us to harbour malice. It teaches us to unite and not be divided,” said Punia.
