New Delhi. The results of the election of the new president of the Wrestling Federation of India came on 21 December. The result was seen in protests by wrestlers who took to the streets. Sanjay Singh won the election by a landslide and was elected as the new president of the WFI. Sanjay Singh is believed to be close to Brijbhushan Singh, which made the wrestler appear unhappy. Sakshi Malik, who won an Olympic medal for India, tearfully decided to quit wrestling during a press conference. But even after this he is asleep.
Sakshi Malik posted on social media against the earlier decision of WFI. He wrote on X, ‘I quit wrestling but I’m upset about last night. What should those junior women wrestlers do who call me and say that the Junior Nationals are to be held from 28th and the new wrestling federation has decided to hold them in Nandani Nagar Gonda. Gonda is the region of Brijbhushan, now imagine the environment in which junior women wrestlers will go to wrestle. Is there no other place for national work in this country than Nandani Nagar? I don’t know what to do.
Wrestlers fought for 40 days
Indian wrestlers fought a long battle against Brij Bhushan Singh. Many wrestlers, including Bajrang Punia, Sakshi Malik and Vinesh Phogat, also went on strike at Jantar-Mantar for about a month and a half. Brij Bhushan Singh faced serious allegations of sexual harassment against women wrestlers. After this Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh decided to break the committee of Wrestling Federation of India.
