Even after the suspension of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), politics continues on this issue.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi reached Virendra Wrestling Academy located in Chhara village of Jhajjar, Haryana early this morning.
Here he met wrestler Bajrang Punia. Let us tell you that Punia brothers started their wrestling training from this wrestling arena.
Let us tell you that recently Punia had placed the Padma Shri award on the footpath near the Prime Minister’s residence in protest against the election of Sanjay Singh, close to Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, to the post of president in the recently concluded elections in WFI. At the same time, Sakshi Malik had announced her retirement.
Let us tell you that star wrestler Vinesh Phogat on Tuesday decided to return her Khel Ratna and Arjuna Award and said that she was disappointed with the current situation.
Phogat announced his decision in his letter to the Prime Minister. Phogat said, I remember that in 2016, when Sakshi Malik won the Olympic medal, the government made her the brand ambassador of the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao campaign.
When we came to know about this, the women of the country were happy and were sending congratulatory messages to each other.
Phogat said, today I am remembering that year again and again when Sakshi was forced to leave wrestling.
We have no objection in publishing those advertisements, because from the slogans written in them, it seems that your government wants to work seriously for the upliftment of daughters.
the dream is fading
Phogat said that I had dreamed of winning a medal in the Olympics but now this dream is also fading. I would just pray that this dream of the upcoming women players is definitely fulfilled.
then make allegations
In the letter, Vinesh urged the Prime Minister to listen to the derogatory statements (of Brij Bhushan) against women wrestlers. He said, the exploiter has also declared his dominance.
You just take five minutes of your life and listen to the statements made by that man in the media. You will know what he has done.
Vinesh alleged that derogatory terms were used for female wrestlers. He forced many female wrestlers to step back.
