Prime Minister Narendra Modi offered her support, calling her a “champion among champions” in a social media post. Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya declared that a “strong protest” had been lodged with the international body --United World Wrestling (UWW).
In a post on X, the Prime Minister termed Vinesh a champion among champions.
“Vinesh, you are a champion among champions! You are India’s pride and an inspiration for each and every Indian. Today’s setback hurts. I wish words could express the sense of despair that I am experiencing. At the same time, I know that you epitomise resilience. It has always been your nature to take challenges headon. Come back stronger! We are all rooting for you,” the Prime Minister said.
The opposition parties, however, sensed a conspiracy in the shocking reversal of fortunes for the wrestler, who was, till recently, the face of a fierce protest against “government inaction” on the sexual harassment allegations against former Wrestling Federation of India head Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.
I.N.D.I.A bloc MPs even held a protest on Parliament premises to seek justice for wrestler Phogat. The MPs held the protest at Makar Dwar in Parliament.
