“Main bhi thode din ke liye social media se break le rahi hoon. Aap sabka dhanyavaad (I am also taking a break from social media for a few days.. Thank you all), she posted.
Earlier on Sunday, Phogat posted an undated letter on social media to prove that the six protesting wrestlers did not demand exemption from Asian Games trials and they sought only time till August for preparation.
Vinesh shared a picture of the letter, which mentions six wrestlers, including herself for some extra time for training ahead of the trials.

मैं भी थोड़े दिन के लिये सोशल मीडिया से ब्रेक ले रही हूँ.. आप सबका धन्यवाद 🙏 @Phogat_Vinesh

“It is requested to you that due to their participation in the wrestlers’ protest, the below mentioned wrestlers need some additional time to prepare for the trials for the Asian Games and the World Championships,” the undated letter, addressed to Sports Miner Anurag Thakur, read.
The request was made for protesting wrestlers Bajrang Punia (65kg), Sakshi Malik (62kg), her husband Satyawart Kadian (97kg), Sangeeta Phogat (57kg), Jitender Kumar (86kg) and Vinesh (53kg) herself.
“Hence it is a request to you that trials must be held for these wrestlers after August 10, 2023,” the letter, signed all six wrestlers mentioned, added.
Along with sharing the letter, Vinesh wrote on her Twitter page, “The protesting wrestlers had only requested to postpone the date of the trials, since due to our participation in the protests for the last six months, we did not get enough time for practice.
“We understand that this is a serious matter, which is why we are sharing this letter with you. The enemy is trying to break the unity among the wrestlers, we cannot let them have success,” Vinesh added.
