In a tweet, he said, "Congratulations @LovlinaBorgohai for her stupendous feat at the Boxing World Championships. She showed great skill. India is delighted by her winning the Gold medal".

Congratulating Zareen for her spectacular victory at the World Boxing Championships to win a gold in 50 Kg light flyweight category, he tweeted: "Congratulations to Nikhat Zareen for her spectacular victory at the World Boxing Championships and winning a Gold.
