Neeraj Chopra Broke Silence Inviting Pakistan Arshad Nadeem for NC Classic Jvelin Throw Tournament; Said This – Amar Ujala Hindi News Live

26 people, including two foreign nationals, died in a terrorist attack in Pahalgam. This cowardly attack is being condemned worldwide. Meanwhile, a news came out that Neeraj Chopra had invited Pakistan’s Olympic champion Arshad Nadeem for the NC Classic Bhalafenk competition, which was rejected by Nadeem. After this there was a ruckus about this. Now Neeraj has broken the silence on this matter. He said that Nadeem was sent two days before the invitation Pahalgam terror attack. He said that his honesty towards the country was raised due to sending invitation and even his family was abused. He will not tolerate this.

‘I have been abused for my family …’

Many players are coming from abroad to participate in the NC (Neeraj Chopra) Classic Bhalafenk to be held in Bengaluru next month after the two -time Olympic medalist Neeraj. Neeraj said that Arshad was invited before the events in Kashmir. He said that after the incidents in Pahalgam in the last 48 hours, there is no question of Arshad’s participation. Neeraj posted from his social media account and has written a long note. He wrote, ‘Neeraj Chopra has made a lot of things about my decision to invite Arshad Nadeem to participate in the classic Javelin throw tournament and most of them are hated and misbehaved. He did not leave my family either. The invitation I gave to Arshad was given from one athlete to another athlete. Nothing more than this, nothing less. The aim of NC Classic is to bring the best athletes in India and to become the home of world class sports events for our country. Two days before the terrorist attacks in Pahalgam, all athletes were invited on Monday. After whatever has happened in the last 48 hours, there is no question of Arshad being in NC Classic.

‘I feel sad that I have to explain to people …’

Neeraj is one of India’s all -time great players. He won the gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics 2020 and a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Games. In Paris 2024, Arshad Nadeem captured the gold. Neeraj also said that it is disappointing to question his honesty. He said, ‘I have taken my country forward with pride for so many years and hence it is sad to see that my honesty is being questioned. I feel sad that I have to convince those who are targeting me and my family, without any reasonable reason. We are ordinary people, please do not make us anything else. A section of the media has created many false reports around me, but just because I do not speak about it, it does not make it true. ‘

‘Look at India with respect …’

Neeraj said, ‘I do not understand how people change opinion. When my mother made an innocent comment in her simplicity a year ago, there was a flood of praise for her views. Today, the same people have not back down from targeting them for the same statement. I will work even more hard to ensure that the world remembers India and for all the reasonable reasons, look at it with jealousy and respect. Jai Hind.’ Earlier this week, Neeraj addressed a press conference, where he confirmed the preliminary list of participants in NC Classic. It also confirmed that the program has been transferred from its home state to Bengaluru in Haryana. During the conference, he had said that invitations have been sent to several top players of javelin throw and Paris Olympic champion Arshad was also invited. However, he did not confirm his participation then. The organizers confirmed the final list of international participants on Thursday night and Arshad’s name was not included in it.
