Prime Minister Narendra Modi: Two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu penned a heartfelt message to Prime Minister Narendra Modi after he congratulated her on becoming the first Indian to win the Japan Open, thanking him for his constant support to Indian sport and recalling cherished memories from their meetings following the Tokyo Olympics.
