'Lost 6 Medals Because Of Them', WFI Chief Hits Out At Vinesh & Punia’s Political Debut

New Delhi: Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Sanjay Singh on Friday expressed no surprise over Olympian wrestlers Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia joining the Congress ahead of the Assembly elections in Haryana, as he came down heavily on the two grapplers for "damaging and destroying" the sport in pursuit of their "political desire".

Speaking to IANS, Singh said Vinesh and Punia were acclaimed wrestlers till now, but they will be henceforth recognised as "pawns" of Congress, adding that it is amply clear now as to who fuelled the wrestlers' stir in the national capital.

Levelling serious charges against the two Haryana wrestlers, Singh said the nation paid a heavy price because of their motivated protest, which was apparently backed by the Congress.
