    Prime Minister Narendra Modi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday spoke to members of the bronze medal-winning Indian men's hockey team over the phone in Paris and congratulated the players for their courageous performance against Spain, team spirit throughout the event and fighting spirit after losing a nerve-wracking clash to Germany in the semifinals.

    India rode on a double by skipper Harmanpreet Singh and some brilliant saves by retiring goalkeeper PR Sreejesh to overcome Spain 2-1 and win the bronze medal in the Paris Olympic Games. This is India's first back-to-back medal since the 1972 Games in Munich following their bronze medal in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

    Speaking to the players on the phone, PM Modi called the Indian team's captain Harmanpreet Singh as "Sarpanch" (village head) of the team.
