I am very proud to say that today I am a part of the party that raises voice for women from the streets to the Parliament.

the fight will continue
Vinesh Phogat said that I am going to start a new innings by joining the Congress today. One thing I want to make clear is that our fight was on and will continue. We have never been afraid and will never be afraid. If anyone thinks that Vinesh Phogat will get scared, then I want to say that we have never been a part of the group of dharna people. We have learned to face every situation boldly and will continue to do so in future as well.

Big disclosure on retirement
After joining the Congress, Vinesh said, 'If I wanted, I could have quit wrestling from Jantar Mantar, but I wanted to put an end to the lies spread by the IT cell.' In which it was said that our career is over, so we played the Nationals but God had something else in store.
