**New Delhi, September 12, 2024:** In a heartwarming gesture, Indian para-javelin thrower Navdeep Singh presented Prime Minister Narendra Modi with a cap during a meeting with the Indian Paralympic contingent at the Prime Minister’s residence on Thursday.

“A very touching gesture by my friend and India’s pride, Navdeep Singh,” PM Modi captioned the video on Instagram. He also asked Navdeep about a viral video of his triumph, inquiring about his aggressive performance. Navdeep responded by highlighting his commitment to fulfilling his promise to PM Modi after finishing fourth at the Tokyo Paralympics.
