Wrestler-turned-politician Vinesh Phogat, who led a protest against former WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in 2023, expressed dismay on Wednesday over the Sports Ministry revoking the suspension of the wrestling body.
“I am standing here with pride and sadness at the same time. Many MLAs and ministers are saying that their government has done so much for sports.
“I say this with sadness that for two years we struggled in the streets… we were fighting to save the sport of wrestling. And now, two days ago, your party (BJP) has given the sport in his hands again,” the Congress MLA from Julana said in the Haryana Assembly without naming Brij Bhushan.
