Prime Minister Narendra Modi: A day after Bajrang Punia returned his Padma Shri Award to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, 2005 Summer Deaflympics gold medal winner Virender Singh Yadav announced he will do the same as a protest after Brij Bhushan Singh's close aide Sanjay Singh was elected as the President of Wrestling Federation of India (WFI).
Virender Singh Yadav, also known as Goonga Pehalwan, received the prestigious Padma Shri Award back in 2021. Before that, he was honoured with the prestigious Arjuna Award in 2015.
On Friday, Punia, as a mark of protest, kept the Padma Shri Award on the footpath near the Prime Minister's residence and left the place. “I will give the Padma Shri award to anyone who will take it to PM Modi,” Punia told the Delhi Police.
