In the Olympics, female wrestler Vinesh Phogat got a big shock just before the final match. The dreams of sports lovers of the entire country along with Vinesh Phogat, who was dreaming of a gold medal, were shattered. This happened because when she was weighed just before the match, her weight was found to be 100 grams more. While this matter dashed the hopes of the entire country, politics has also started regarding it. Akhilesh Yadav said that there should be an investigation in this matter. At the same time, AAP MP Sanjay Singh also talked about conspiracy.
Amidst this politics, Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann reached the village in Charkhi Dadri, Haryana, where Vinesh Phogat lives. During this, he also talked to Vinesh Phogat’s uncle Mahavir Phogat. After this, while talking to the media, Bhagwant Mann also directly attacked PM Narendra Modi. Bhagwant Mann said, ‘When she reached the final, no tweet came. But when she was declared ineligible, then he is tweeting again.’ Bhagwant Mann said that some efforts should be made for her. This same Vinesh Phogat was made to sit on mats and she was crying. Our players have to fight for their rights first.
Mann said that players are forced to chant Zindabad and Murdabad. Is this the job of players? Bhagwant Mann said that Vinesh Phogat had to raise slogans at a time when she should have been preparing. Bhagwant Mann said that I will not say that there is a conspiracy in this matter. But it is the job of the coach and physiotherapist to check what Vinesh should have eaten and how she can lose weight.
He said that ads are shown that PM Modi stopped the war in Ukraine, but why couldn’t he stop this. Neeta Ambani is also in the Olympic Committee. What did she do that would have given some relief. Bhagwant Mann said that the Wrestling Association should have raised questions in this matter. He said that after all a girl plays two big matches a day before. Then how does her weight suddenly increase by 100 grams.
What did Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya say in Parliament
In this case, Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya has given a statement in the House. He said that Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat had to be out of the competition due to being 100 grams overweight in the prescribed category. For this competition, it was mandatory for her weight to remain up to 50 kg. Weight is weighed before every match. If a player does not participate in the weight measurement or is found to be overweight, he is excluded from the competition. Vinesh Phogat’s weight was found to be 50 kg 100 grams. Therefore, she was disqualified. In this case, the Wrestling Association of India has lodged a protest with the Olympic Committee.
