Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat, who was disqualified due to being overweight in the Paris Olympics, surprised everyone after announcing her retirement from wrestling. After this decision, uncle Mahavir Phogat had asked Vinesh to withdraw the decision and now her sister Babita Phogat also said that we are saddened by this decision.
Babita Phogat said that Vinesh has announced her retirement from wrestling. Not only me and my family but the entire country is saddened by this. We will give courage to Vinesh that we all stand with her. We will talk to him and bring him back to the field and give him courage to play the 2028 Olympics.
Did Babita speak on the allegations of conspiracy with Vinesh?
Babita said that there was no conspiracy with Vinesh. In 2012, I myself was disqualified due to being 200 grams overweight and could not play the Asian Championship. In the past also many players have been out of the competition due to being overweight. There is no conspiracy of any kind in this.
On Bhupendra Hooda’s statement of making Vinesh a Rajya Sabha candidate, Babita Phogat said that I would like to tell Hooda ji, how many players did you send to the Rajya Sabha during your ten years of tenure? I request with folded hands both Bhupendra Hooda and Deependra Hooda that you stop breaking this family. Don’t do politics regarding family. If you want to do politics then go to the field and do it, don’t do politics by breaking this family.
