PM CONGRATULATES INDIAN TEAM


The Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee has congratulated the Indian Cricket Team on its splendid victory in the final of the Natwest Trophy Tournament at Lords in the United Kingdom.

In a message, the Prime Minister said that the game last night epitomized the grit, determination and team-work particularly of the younger players of our national team. The resilient spirit of India was evident in the way Ganguly, Yuvraj Singh and Mohd. Kaif essayed a spectacular comeback. They literally snatched the game from the jaws of defeat and won us the Trophy. These youngsters have proved that persistence coupled with a firm belief in themselves can bring the country laurels and no target is difficult to achieve.
