New Delhi: Praising the efforts of Indian athletes at the Rio Olympics, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said the country's "daughters" made the country proud. "The two medals we got were bagged by the daughters of this nation.

There were other girls who almost made it and performed well. Once again they proved that they are no lesser than anyone else in any manner," Modi said while referring to shuttler PV Sindhu, wrestler Sakshi Malik and gymnast Deepa Karmakar.

"They were from north India, south India, the northeast and other different parts. It seems daughters of India had resolved to make this country proud," he said in his monthly radio talk.

"For the first time, Deepa Karmakar made it to the gymnastics, 36 years later the women's hockey team qualified, 32 years after PT Usha Indian runner O P Jaisha managed to qualify for marathon, Abhinav Bindra came fourth, boxer Vikas Yadav also performed well," Modi said.
