PM Narendra Modi to interact with footballer Afshan Ashiq as part of Fit India programme

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will interact with Afshan Ashiq, the goalkeeper from Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), in an online chat session as part of the Fit India programme.

She had been in the headlines for the wrong reasons after a photo of her throwing a stone at J&K police had gone viral in 2017. However, that was a one-off incident as per the footballer who has now taken a leadership role in the footballing scene of J&K.

Along with her, Prime Minister Modi will interact with several other dignitaries like Virat Kohli, Milind Soman amongst others.
