प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी ने गुरुवार को पेरिस पैरालंपिक से लौटे भारतीय दल से अपने आवास पर मुलाकात की। पीएम मोदी से मिलने के बाद भारतीय पैरा शटलर नितेश कुमार ने कहा कि जब हम ओलंपिक के लिए जा रहे थे तब भी हमारी प्रधानमंत्री जी से ऑनलाइन मुलाकात हुई थी तब भी उन्होंने हमें बहुत प्यार से समझाया था कि पूरा देश हमारी सपोर्ट में खड़ा हुआ है। हम वहां जाएं और अपना बेस्ट दें साथ ही कहा कि जिस भी चीज की जरूरत होगी वह आप सभी खिलाड़ियों को मुहैया करवाई जाएगी। जब मेडल जीतने के बाद वापस आए हैं तब भी प्रधानमंत्री ने बुलाकर हमसे मुलाकात की हमारी अचीवमेंट को सराहा, जब प्रधानमंत्री से मैं मिला तो उन्होंने मेरा नाम लेकर कहा कि आप बहुत अच्छा खेले, जब देश के प्रधानमंत्री आपको आपके नाम से जानते हैं तो ये बहुत गर्व की बात है।

SportsTranscript
00:00Before we left, we met with PM Modi and he kindly explained to us that the whole country is with us and is in support of us.
00:11We should go there and give our best and whatever we need there, we will take care of it.
00:19And the same thing happened when we were in Paris.
00:21Whatever we needed, we took care of it.
00:25And after winning the medal, when we came back to meet PM Modi, he praised our achievements.
00:33When I met him, he told me that Nitesh played very well.
00:36So when your country's Prime Minister knows you by your name and praises your achievements, it is very motivating.
00:43And then we talked to him a lot about the whole contingent and he made us feel like our own.
00:49So it was very motivating for all the athletes who were there.
00:52Preparation has not started yet.
00:54As far as I think, all the athletes have come from such big tournaments, so everyone is happy.
00:59Everyone wants to enjoy their performance a little.
01:02But of course, like we won 29 in Paris after 19 in Tokyo, the game is growing a lot.
01:07Parasports is growing a lot in India.
01:10There is a lot of support from the Ministry, there is a lot of support from private organizations, there is a lot of support from the public.
01:15Keeping that support intact, we all anticipate that we will win 40 plus medals in LA in 2028.
01:22And the confidence that has come to the whole contingent after the performance in Paris, I think that confidence is a very achievable target.
