Mother said it is like a son … Neeraj Chopra broke silence with Pakistani jaavalin thrower, said- he has never been a close friend of mine

New Delhi. Pakistan’s javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem was once described by Neeraj Chopra’s mother like her son. But Neeraj Chopra says that Arshad Nadeem has never been among his close friends. Neeraj says that as an athlete, he talks to Neeraj because the community of jawaline throw is very small. India’s star spear throw player Neeraj Chopra has clarified that he and Arshad Nadeem never had close friendship. And also said that after the recent terrorist attack, things between India and Pakistan will not remain the same.

After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam last month, Neeraj Chopra and his family had to face abusive words on social media. Because this star athlete invited Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem at NC Classic in Bangalore. However, it has now been postponed. The two -time Olympic medalist and current world champion gave a clear answer when asked about the friendship with Nadeem on the eve of the Doha Diamond League from Chopra. Last year, Arshad won gold at the Paris Olympics while Neeraj captured Silver. Then Arshad’s mother said in an interview that he (Arshad Nadeem) is like my son. He is Neeraj’s friend and brother too. The victory and defeat is part of the game.

‘We were never close friends’
Arshad Nadeem won a gold medal at the Paris Olympics last year while Chopra topped the podium in the Tokyo phase in 2021. Neeraj told reporters at the press conference, ‘First of all I would like to clarify that I (with Nadeem) is not a very strong relationship. We were never close friends. But due to this reason (tension on the Indo-Pak border), the conversation between us will not be the same as before. But if someone talks to me with respect, then I also talk with respect. We have to talk as a player. I have some good friends in the sports community around the world who are not only in a spear throw but also in other sports. If someone talks to me respectfully, I will also talk to him with full respect.

‘Javelin throw has a very small community’
Haryana star athlete Neeraj Chopra said, “There is a very small community in the javelin throw and everyone is competing for their country and everyone wants to give their best.” The Paris Games silver winner Star had earlier said that he was very sad after Nadeem was invited to compete in the tournament held in his honor and questioned him and his family’s honesty in a derogatory post on social media. Chopra then clarified that invitations for NC Classic were sent a day before the Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed.
