Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised Indian boxer Lovlina Borgohain's objection to a distorted Indian map during the Commonwealth Games held in Glasgow. According to a video shared by the Prime Minister's Office, Modi remarked that the video was "not ordinary" and would be remembered for a long time. Lovlina, who won a silver medal in the women's 75kg category, had confronted a restaurant owner in Glasgow over the map issue after winning her medal.
The Prime Minister commended her for recognizing the significance of the map even amidst the celebrations, and highlighted the contribution of Indian athletes who brought home seven gold medals, including 13 in total, to finish fourth in the Games. The meeting also featured a heart-to-heart conversation with weightlifter Mirabai Chanu, who discussed the emotional journey that led her to a gold medal after facing challenges in the previous four years.
