Previously, a video depicting Pakistan's hockey players holding China's flag during the Asian Champions Trophy final against India went viral on social media. The video sparked a wave of negative reactions online, unlike the recent chess incident which garnered a more positive response.
On Thursday, India's triumphant teams had the honor of meeting with Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya to celebrate their success in Budapest.
During the Olympiad, D Gukesh, Arjun Erigaisi, and R Praggnanandhaa secured crucial victories in the men's final round against Slovenia. The women's team also emerged victorious against Azerbaijan, clinching the country's second gold medal in the event.
Emphasizing India's deep-rooted connection with chess, Mandaviya stated: "By winning on the global stage, you have not only made the entire nation proud but have also honoured the legacy of our traditional heritage.
The minister said India's strength lies not just in its manpower but also in its brainpower.
"The Government of India is committed to creating an ecosystem that encourages and nurtures talent across all sports disciplines. We want our athletes to feel motivated to showcase their talent on the world stage and bring laurels to the nation," he said in a release.
