In a tweet, the Union Minister said, “Pradeep Mehra’s sense of purpose, passion and tough grind represents the indomitable spirit and can-do-attitude of young India. He has also shown people how to live their dream. Wishing Pradeep the very best.”
“लहरों से डर कर नौका पार नहीं होती कोशिश करने वालों की हार नहीं होती। (The boat that qualms the waves never gets across, the mind that dreads and dares has never been at loss),” he added wishing the boy luck.
लहरों से डर कर नौका पार नहीं होती
कोशिश करने वालों की हार नहीं होती।
