New Delhi [India] Indian Olympic hero Neeraj Chopra has expressed his full support for the Indian Armed Forces, praising their bravery and dedication in fighting terrorism in the face of rising tensions between India and Pakistan.

The reigning javelin champion and two-time Olympic medalist used his official X account to show support for the military and to ask people to behave properly at this delicate period.

“Our brave Indian Armed Forces are combating terrorism for our country, and we are proud of them. To guarantee everyone’s safety at this time, let’s do our bit and make sure to abide by the rules. Chopra wrote, “Jy hind jy bhaart jy hind kii senaa.”

Our brave Indian Armed Forces are combating terrorism for our country, and we are proud of them.

In addition to missing the inaugural Neeraj Chopra Classic tournament in Bengaluru on May 24, Neeraj’s schedule starts with the Doha Diamond League on May 16. Yashvir Singh and Sachin Yadav will represent the tricolor in the men’s javelin throw in his place.

According to defense sources on Thursday, Pakistan launched eight missiles against Satwari, Samba, RS Pura, and Arnia, all of which were intercepted and stopped by air defense forces.

In Udhampur, Jammu and Kashmir, Indian air defense intercepted Pakistani drones, causing explosions. In Jaisalmer, Indian air defense intercepted drones from Pakistan. There were flashes in the sky and sounds of explosions. In Jalandhar, Punjab, and Bikaner, Rajasthan, there is a total blackout in effect.

Operation Sindoor, which targeted terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and PoJK with precise attacks, was India’s previous response to the Pahalgam terror incident. Additionally, India said that any assault on military facilities will prompt a proportionate reaction.
