New Delhi, Sept 2 (IBNS): Indian Prime Minsiter Narendra Modi on Sunday congratulated athletes for putting up a strong performance in the Asian Games.

Modi called all the participating athletes of 2018 Asian Games, which ended on Sunday, as India's pride.

Wishing the sports personalities, Modi said: "I salute the coaches, support staff, parents, family and friends of the athletes. Thank you for constantly supporting our champions. My best wishes to all our athletes for their future endeavours. #AsianGames2018."
