Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday congratulated two-time Olympic medalist Neeraj Chopra for breaching the 90-metre mark for the first time in his career at the Doha Diamond League 2025, lauding the javelin thrower's "relentless dedication" and calling it a moment of national pride.

Chopra scripted history by becoming the first Indian to cross the 90m barrier in an international competition, recording a stunning 90.23m throw in his third attempt during the men's javelin event on Friday.

His previous personal best and national record was 89.94m, achieved in 2022 at the Stockholm Diamond League.
