Prime Minister Narendra Modi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called on the 140 crore Indians to wish and support the 84-member contingent that will be representing India in the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris, which started on Wednesday.

The Paralympic Committee of India (PCI) has selected its largest contingent to take part in the Paralympic Games in Paris and is hoping to surge past the country's best-ever medal haul of 19 achieved in the previous edition held in Tokyo.

"140 crore Indians wish our contingent at the Paris #Paralympics 2024 the very best," Prime Minister Modi wrote on X.
