Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh on Vinesh Phogat: Former President of the Wrestling Federation and BJP leader Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh has reacted to wrestler Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia joining the Congress ahead of the Haryana Assembly elections. He has targeted many big leaders of the Congress. Recalling the protest launched against them by the pioneers, Brij Bhushan said, this move was started two years ago.
Brij Bhushan said that these players had hatched a conspiracy on 18 January, about two years ago. I said this is a political conspiracy. Congress was involved in this, Deepender Hooda was involved, Bhupendra Hooda was involved. This entire script was written. This was not a movement of players and now after almost two years it is clear that Congress was involved in this drama.
Strong attack on Vinesh
Talking to a news agency, Brij Bhushan said, I am not guilty of my daughters. If anyone is guilty among the daughters, then it is Bajrang Punia and Vinesh Phogat and Bhupendra Hooda, who wrote the script, is responsible. He kept the wrestling movement closed for almost two and a half years.
Brij Bhushan attacked Vinesh and said, 'Is it not true that Bajrang went to the Asian Games without trials?' I want to ask wrestling experts and Vinesh Phogat whether a player can give trials in two weight categories in one day? Can wrestling be stopped for five hours after weigh-in? You talk about rules, is there a rule that a player can give trials in two weight categories in one day, you are not entitled to the second weight category? Why not stop wrestling for five hours? Was the railway referee not used? You have gone by cheating, not by fighting the wrestling. The rights of junior players have been snatched away. God has punished you for that.
sadhu mark on hood
Targeting Bhupendra Hooda, he alleged that the leader of Haryana Congress is behind the 'Wrestler Movement'. This was a Congress movement. Bhupendra Hooda was leading the conspiracy against us in this entire movement. I want to tell the people of Haryana that Deepender Hooda, Bhupendra Hooda, Bajrang and Vinesh did not sit on dharna for the honor of their daughters. Because of them, the daughters of Haryana are feeling ashamed. We are not responsible for all these things. Deepender Hooda, Bhupendra Hooda and the protesters are responsible for this.
The movement has an impact on wrestling- Sanjay Singh
On the inclusion of Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia in the Congress, Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) President Sanjay Singh said, 'This was bound to happen.' The whole country knows that this entire protest was happening at the behest of the Congress and its mastermind was Deepender Hooda i.e. the Hooda family. The foundation of this protest was laid the day our Prime Minister praised Brij Bhushan Singh and said that wrestling is in safe hands. This entire conspiracy was also hatched because wrestling was to get 4-5 medals in the Olympics. This movement also affected the medals. There was no wrestling activity for 2 years in the Olympic year, so we got fewer medals. Our pioneers could not practice. Now these people will not have any influence on our wrestling association.
