Vinesh Phogat sacrificed to the politics of sports

Spokesperson: Shri Randeep Singh Surjewala: He said that August 06, 2024, will be written forever in the sports history of India for ages to come, that Vinesh Phogat, a daughter of India, hoisted the tricolor of this country in the wrestling arena of Paris Olympics by winning the pre-quarter, quarter final and semi-final in seven hours.

Vinesh Phogat did not lose on the wrestling mat, but she lost on the mat of conspiracy. Vinesh Phogat was sacrificed for the politics of sports. Some people in power were even avoiding tweeting congratulations to Vinesh Phogat because Vinesh Phogat is the same female wrestler who had raised a strong voice against the physical and mental torture of female wrestlers in the country by the then President of Wrestling Federation of India, the favorite of Prime Minister Modi ji, the then BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, throughout the year 2023.

This is the same Vinesh Phogat whom the BJP government had got dragged along with other wrestlers to Jantar Mantar by the Delhi Police on the day Parliament was inaugurated. This is the same Vinesh Phogat against whom the Modi government had lodged an FIR and also got a case filed.This is the same Vinesh Phogat, who was ultimately defeated due to a vicious conspiracy.

In contemporary history, it has never happened that a player has been disqualified from the Olympics on the basis of being overweight by just 100 grams. Every time a player’s weight goes over, he or she will be given one to two hours. Why was this time not given to Vinesh Phogat?

Within moments of Vinesh Phogat being disqualified, the Prime Minister of the country and the big ruling people of the country came out with condolence tweets. We don’t want condolence tweets. Vinesh Phogat wants justice. - Wednesday, August 7, 2024
