This is insult to country: AAP on Phogat's disqualification

AAP called wrestler Vinesh Phogat’s disqualification from the Olympics an “insult” to the country and demanded that the Indian contingent boycott the games if the situation demands.

In a unfortunate turn of events, Vinesh Phogat was on Wednesday disqualified from the Olympics for being found overweight ahead of her women’s 50kg final in Paris.

AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, in a post on X in Hindi, said, “This is not an insult to Vinesh but to the country, @ Phogat_Vinesh was going to create history in the whole world, declaring her 100 grams overweight and disqualifying her is grave injustice.

AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sandeep Pathak, in a post on X, said, “Many indicating towards a conspiracy… Who can be behind this... ?”
