“Hello India, let’s come together and support our Indian Olympic athletes who’ve been working tirelessly throughout the years to make our country proud. Let’s show our appreciation for their hard work as they shine on the biggest stage of the world,” Pant said in the video message.
India achieved their best-ever medal tally in the Tokyo edition by clinching seven medals, including one gold, two silver and four bronze.

To our entire contingent, we wish you the very best. Make India proud! Jai Hind! @Media_SAI || @WeAreTeamIndia || @Olympics || #Paris2024Olympics,” tweeted Shah.
