Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh’s Son Calls Vinesh Phogat’s Disqualification a ‘Loss for the Country’
Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh’s Son Calls Vinesh Phogat’s Disqualification a ‘Loss for the Country’
Responding to Vinesh Phogat’s preclusion from the continuous Paris Olympics, BJP MP Karan Bhushan Singh said on Wednesday that her exclusion was a ‘misfortune for the country.’ “It is a misfortune for the country. The (Wrestling) Organization will think about this and see what should be possible,” Singh, the Lok Sabha part from Uttar Pradesh’s Kaiserganj seat, said. Singh is the child of individual BJP pioneer and ex-Kaiserganj MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, the previous head of the Wrestling Alliance of India (WFI). Last year, the threesome of Phogat, Sakshi Malik, and Bajrang Punia, drove a grapplers’ dissent in Delhi, over claims by a few female grapplers, including minors, who blamed Brij Bhushan for lewd behavior, a charge he denies.
Brij Bhushan was supplanted as WFI president by Sanjay Singh, his nearby partner. Sakshi Malik, the bronze medallist at the 2016 Rio Games, resigned in fight. In the interim, on the exclusion of Vinesh, who might have turned into India’s very first female grappler to secure essentially a silver at the Olympics, state head Narendra Modi called her a ‘champion among champions.'”Vinesh, you are a boss among champions! You are India’s pride and a motivation for every single Indian. The present difficulty harms. I wish words could communicate the feeling of gloom that I am encountering,” he composed on X (previously Twitter).

“Simultaneously, I realize that you embody versatility. It has forever been your tendency to take difficulties head on. Return more grounded! We are pulling for you,” PM Modi added. In any case, highlighting the Brij Bhushan episode, a Congress MP guaranteed that a ‘trick’ was brought forth to get Phogat excluded. She was precluded as she was overweight – past the passable 50kg cutoff – in front of the last. India has documented ‘areas of strength for a’ against the decision.
